  1. SDSC RP UpdateTG Roundtable MeetingDecember 11, 2008

  2. Networking, Operations, Security • Operations • DataStar (IBM P4) and BlueGene have been retired from nationally allocated service (10/1/08) • Security • An incident response tracking tool was developed for the Security Working Group • Inca • Accessibility of current status data was improved using REST

  3. Archival Storage 32 new IBM 3592 tape drives have been incorporated into the archive system split between HPSS and SAM-QFS Allows up to 1TB per tape, bringing the capacity to 36PB total GridFTP to HPSS interface was completed and is in production Lustre-WAN PSC Research Collaborations Mounting PSC test filesystem on SDSC SUN-based Lustre test cluster Running application tests at medium scale Introducing kerberized cross-realm identification w/PSC IU Collaboration Requested to mount production filesystem on SDSC IA-64 cluster Data, Visualization

  4. File transfer A direct GridFTP interface was installed on our IBM P5 system that hosts our GPFS-WAN filesystem Tests involved large data transfers to and from Ranger and Kraken Sustained transfer rates of up to 500MB/s were achieved in the tests and a maximum of 1GB/s was achieved This new interface will be made available to users shortly, enabled on request now Data, Visualization (cont.)

  5. Software, Scheduling • Scheduling • SDSC’s GUR meta-scheduling software now communicates with the GARS (Globus Advanced Reservation Services) “uniform” interface • Scheduling Working Group evaluation report for GARS and HARC was completed • A portal interface to GUR released into test

  6. Advanced User Support • Amit hit ground running as AUS AD • SDSC ASTA projects • Direct Numerical and Large-eddy Simulation of Complex Turbulent Flows. PI: Mahesh Krishnan, University of Minnesota. • SCEC PetaSHA: An Earthquake System Science Approach to Physics-Based Seismic Hazard Research. PI: Tom Jordan, University of Southern California and SCEC PIs. • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation(NEES). PI: Ahmed Elgamal, University of California San Diego and other NEES PIs. • Molecular Dynamics. PI: Adrian Roitberg, U. Florida

  7. EOT • TG-Relevant “Summer at SDSC” weekly seminars were recorded for re-packaging as on-demand tutorials • Introduction to TeraGrid Visualization Resources • Introduction to TeraGrid Single-Sign-On • Introduction to Data Transfer and File Management on the TeraGrid (pending application debugging) • Introduction to StarP-Parallel Programming with Matlab • Advanced HPC - Scaling Up To Track 2 Systems • Introduction to Data Mining • Science Gateways Update • Introduction to Gridsphere • Seven TeacherTECH workshops (82 participants) and one StudentTECH workshop (18 participants) were completed in the 3rd quarter

  8. External Relations • New Building Dedication • Oct 14, 2008 • 80K additional sq. ft. • 18K additional computer room sq. ft.
