  1. Sverre Jarp IT Division CERN CERN’s openlabProject SJ – Nov.2002

  2. openlab plans • Industrial Collaboration • Three year project • Enterasys, HP, and Intel are ourpartners • Technology aimed at the LHC era • Network switchat 10 Gigabits • Rack-mounted HP servers • Itanium Processor Family (IPF) • Storage subsystem may be coming • from a 4th partner • Cluster evolution: • 2002: Cluster of 32 systems (64 G-1 processors) • 2003: 64 systems ( G-2 processors) • 2004: 64 systems (G-3 processors) SJ – Nov.2002

  3. The compute nodes • HP rx-2600 • Rack-mounted (2U) systems • Two Itanium-2 processors • 900 or 1000 MHz • Field upgradable to next generation • 4 GB memory (max 12 GB) • 3 hot pluggable SCSI discs (36 or 73 GB) • On-board 100 and 1000 Mbit Ethernet • 4 full-size 133 MHz/64-bit PCI-X slots • Built-in management processor • Accessible via serial port or Ethernet interface SJ – Nov.2002

  4. openlab - phase 1 • Integrate the openCluster • 32 nodes + development nodes • Rack-mounted DP Itanium-2 systems • RedHat 7.3 • OpenAFS 1.2.7, LSF 4 • GNU, Intel Compilers (+ ORC?) • Database software (MySQL, Oracle?) • CERN middleware: Castor data mgmt • GRID middleware: Globus, Condor, etc. • CERN Applications • Porting, Benchmarking, Performance improvements • CLHEP, GEANT4, ROOT, Anaphe, (CERNLIB?) • Cluster benchmarks • 1  10 Gigabit interfaces Also: Prepare porting strategy for phase 2 SJ – Nov.2002

  5. openlab time line Order/Install 32 nodes Systems experts in place – Start phase 1 Complete phase 1 Start phase 2 Order/Install G-2 upgrades + 32 more nodes Complete phase 2 Start phase 3 EDGinter-operability openClusterintegration Order/Install G-3 upgrades LCGinter-operability End-02 End-03 End-04 End-05 SJ – Nov.2002

  6. The potential ofopenlab • Leverage CERN’s IT strengths • Integrate perfectly into our environment • OS, Compilers, Middleware, Applications • Integrate alongside EDG testbed • Integrate into LCG deployment strategy • Show successfully that the new technologiescan be solid building blocks for the LHC computing environment SJ – Nov.2002
