    Computing & Batch Services

    The HEPiX Benchmarking Working Group develops and maintains benchmarking tools to measure computing resources across the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). Since the adoption of HEPScore23 in April 2023, the WG has been enhancing the benchmark suite to address evolving community needs. Currently, the WG is focused on two main developments: extending the benchmark suite with modules to...

    Computing & Batch Services

    Distributed computing infrastructures are typically shared by multiple research communities, where precise and transparent resource accounting is essential. To meet these demands, we developed AUDITOR (AccoUnting DatahandlIng Toolbox for Opportunistic Resources), a flexible, modular, and extensible accounting ecosystem designed for heterogeneous computing environments.

    AUDITOR captures and...

  4. 42. Slurm Appliance: An open source HPC batch cluster defined as code for on-premises clouds
    Steve Brasier (StackHPC)

    Computing & Batch Services

    HPC clusters are often seen as relatively static systems that do not need the flexibility provided by cloud environments. We describe the StackHPC Slurm Appliance, a Slurm batch scheduler deployment which uses OpenStack to combine bare metal performance with the operational convenience and ease of testing provided by virtualisation. The resulting HPC system is suitable for uses ranging from a...

  5. 59. Misc Linux Things happening at DESY
    Jan Hartmann

    Computing & Batch Services

    A little bit of DESY Linux tools, all at once.
    In the past, we have developed lots of smaller and larger tools to help in various aspects of Linux administration at DESY.
    We present some of them in this talk.

    • Which packages do applications stem from that run on a Linux system? Security status of packages and applications?
    • Jump hosts: Making administration more secure, and isolating...

  7. 46. Experience with HTCondor job disk and memory limits at CZ WLCG sites
    Alexandr Mikula (Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ))

    Computing & Batch Services

    We present operational experience from two CZ WLCG sites deploying per-job LVM-enforced disk quotas and CGroup2-enforced memory limits within HTCondor, with a 10% overhead allowance and swap disabled for all batch jobs.
    We cover bugs and unexpected behaviours encountered in production, pitfalls to anticipate, configuration choices to avoid.
