3. CERN Cloud Infrastructure update

Daniel Abad (CERN)

18/10/2019, 09:00

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

CERN runs a private OpenStack Cloud with ~300K cores, ~3K users and several OpenStack services.
CERN users can build services from a pool of compute and storage resources using OpenStack APIs such as Ironic, Nova, Magnum, Cinder and Manila.
For that reason, CERN cloud operators face some operational challenges at scale in order to offer these services in a stable manner.
In this talk, you...

48. Status and Operation of LHAASO Computing Platform

Wei Zheng (IHEP)

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) experiment of IHEP is located in Daocheng, Sichuan province (at the altitude of 4410 m), which generates a huge large amount of data and requires massive storage and large computing power.
This article will introduce the current status of LHAASO computing platform at Daocheng. And focus on virtualization technologies such as docker...

30. Data Lake. Configuration and testing of distributed data storage systems.

Andrey Zarochentsev (St Petersburg State University (RU))

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

The need for an effective distributed data storage has appeared important from the beginning of LHC, and this topic has become particularly vital in the light of the preparation for the HL-LHC run and the emergence of data-intensive projects in other domains such as nuclear and astroparticle physics.
LHC experiments have started an R&D within the DOMA project and we report the recent results...

60. Distributed Computing at the JGI: A Grid-like approach for the life sciences

Georg Rath (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

18/10/2019, 10:15

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

The Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a part of the US department of energy and is serving the scientific community with access to high-throughput, high-quality sequencing, DNA synthesis, metabolomics and analysis capabilities. With ever increasing complexity of analysis workflows, and the demand burstable compute, it became necessary to be able to shift those workloads between sites. In this...

57. The SLATE Project Update

Shawn Mc Kee (University of Michigan (US))

18/10/2019, 11:10

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

We will provide an update on the SLATE project (https://slateci.io), an NSF funded effort to securely enable service orchestration in Science DMZ (edge) networks across institutions. The Kubernetes-based SLATE service provides a step towards a federated operations model, allowing innovation of distributed platforms, while reducing operational effort at resource providing sites.

The...

4. ComputeOps: container for High Performance Computing

Cecile Cavet (APC), Dr Aurélien Bailly-Reyre

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation

The High Performance Computing (HPC) domain aims to optimize code in order to use the last multicore and parallel technologies including specific processor instructions. In this computing framework, portability and reproducibility are key concepts. A way to handle these requirements is to use Linux containers. These "light virtual machines" allow to encapsulate applications within its...
