20. Power and Efficiency Monitoring for WLCG Sites

Natalia Diana Szczepanek (CERN)

Environmental sustainability, business continuity, and Facility improvement

Monitoring power consumption at the level of grid job slots remains a missing component of current Workload Management Systems for HEP experiments. While individual computing centres can monitor power consumption locally, maintaining a consistent view across heterogeneous clusters and re-benchmarking systems after each configuration change is time-consuming and often impractical for...

24. Technical aspects of RF2.0 and what you can learn about your cluster by running benchmarks

Jan Hartmann

Environmental sustainability, business continuity, and Facility improvement

I have been working at DESY for a bit over a year as part of Research Facilities 2.0 (RF2.0), with the aim of making the compute infrastructure more ressource efficient.

In this talk I will present how we rolled out benchmarks to our clusters, how the results helped us finding misconfigurations, and some of the configuration changes we made to our infrastructure.
Also, i will present our...
