1. AT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY CCT: Center for Computation & Technology @ LSU Condor in Louisiana Tevfik Kosar Center for Computation & Technology Louisiana State University April 30, 2008

2. HPC Resources in Louisiana Need for Condor? Reservoir Simulations Coastal Modeling Conclusions Roadmap

3. 40Gb/sec bandwidth state-wide Next-generation network for research Connected to the National LambdaRail (NLR, 10Gb/sec) in Baton Rouge Spans 6 universities and 2 health centers The Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) is a high speed computing and networking resource supporting scientific research and the development of new technologies, protocols, and applications to positively impact higher education and economic development in Louisiana.

6. Who would say NO to more free cycles? Condor is more than cycle-stealing Condor project for us: Batch Scheduler (Condor) Gateway to Grid (Condor-G) Grid Software Stack (DAGMan, NeST, Stork..) Open Source (do your own thing) Why Condor?

7. UCoMS Goals: Reservoir simulation and uncertainty analysis 26M simulations, each generating 50MB of data --> 1.3 PB of data total Drilling processing and real-time monitoring is data-intensive as well --> real-time visualization and analysis of TB’s of streaming data Ubiquitous Computing and Monitoring System for Discovery and Managment of Energy Resources

8. UCoMS Abstract Workflow

9. UCoMS Concrete Workflow

10. 10 Putting Together 10

11. Monitoring DAGs via WEB UCoMS Closed Loop Demonstration -- SC07

12. Monitoring DAGs via WEB

13. 13 Monitoring DAGs via WEB

14. 14 SCOOP Goals: Execution of atmospheric (WindGen) and hydrodynamic models (WW3, ADCIRC) for predicting effects of a storm (i.e. storm surge). 32 tracks per Storm every six hours Each track may have different priority Issues related to data and workflow management, resource discovery and brokering, task farming SURA Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction Program SURA: Southeastern Universities Research Association SURA Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction Program SURA: Southeastern Universities Research Association

15. SCOOP Scheduling Scheduling issues: – Dynamic prioritization based on scenario and resources – Three queues: on-demand (preemptive), priority, and best effort - co-scheduling, advanced reservation

16. 16 Best Effort Scheduling 16

17. 17 On-demand Scheduling 17

18. 18 Conclusions Condor is more than a cycle-stealing tool We have used Condor, DAGMan and Stork successfully in end-to-end processing of Coastal Modeling Reservoir Simulations Willing to share exerience Visually monitoring DAG progress New Stork release soon 18 Hmm..
