Inventory and monitoring are two areas that have become more important at LEPP over the last few years in the IT area. We've had increased requirements to track what computers we buy, who gets them "out of stock" and various status changes, from location changes through to disposal.
Knowing where a computer is located is only part of the battle. Important servers and systems must be tracked...

The BIRD cluster is a multi-core batch computing facility based on the Grid Engine Software. It provides resources for compute intensive applications running under Scientific Linux. The talk covers the basic design as well as the implementation of advanced features like afs/kerberos integration, parallel environments and interactive queues. Special demands for big jobs with up to 64 GByte...

During summer 2010, a large LSF test cluster infrastructure was put in place to allow scalability tests of the batch software (LSF) at a scale which exceeds the production instance by up to a factor 5.
The response time of several central commands was measured as a function of the number of worker nodes and the number of batch nodes in the farm.
Several issues which were found during the...

GPU experiences
JLab's HPC environment for Lattice QCD has recently been upgraded, including the additions of GPUs and Lustre. We are now running two GPU-enabled clusters with NVIDIA GeForce GTX-285, GTX-480, and Tesla C2050 capabilities, in addition to our 3 IB clusters. We are also running a Lustre filesystem on Amax storage servers. This talk will share our experiences integrating these new technologies...
