Presents computation Grid Harness the power of Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac OS/X machines

computation Grid Harness the power of Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac OS/X machines Turn your existing machines into a large compute resource using inferno Grid technology Easy installation and administration Automatic update of node software and datasets Resilient to client, server and network failures Grid workflow specification High security – fully authenticated network connections Free academic licence

computation Grid Control Create, start, stop, delete and change job priority with immediate effect Information Job description and parameters Job Administration Status Detailed progress report for currently selected job Display All scheduled jobs with current status and priority

computation Grid Node Administration Connected Not Connected Dead Blacklisted Control Include, exclude and delete nodes Job Group Assign nodes to individual job groups Information See node operating system & list of installed packages Power Bar See how much of the grid is being utilised % available % in use At a Glance Viewing Quickly see the current state of the grid with colour coded job ids Job id Task id Display All known nodes and current status

computation Grid The Grid in Action

computation Grid Starting a new job Select the type of job to be started Enter parameters for the new job New job appears in job monitor As the job runs, the progress will be updated Nodes begin processing the new job The progress report can display percentile or numeric output

computation Grid Raising job priority Controlling Jobs Starting a job Status will change to running Select a job to start Click onClick on to raise the job priority Nodes will begin processing new highest priority job Stopping a job Click on Select ‘Stop & Teardown’ to stop job immediately Nodes will start processing other jobs Deleting a job Click on Click on refresh ( ) to update the display

computation Grid Click ‘Do it now’ to remove the nodes immediatelyChange the display back to ‘Show all nodes’Job groups are used to assign specific nodes to certain jobs Using job groups By default, each job group contains all nodesSelect the job group to be modifiedSelect the ‘Group Nodes’ display optionSelect the nodes to remove from job group 27Click ‘Remove from group’ Now raise job 27 priority to the top The nodes which are in job group 27 will now start processing job 27 It is also possible to exclude a node completely so that it will not be given any work Select a node and click When excluded, the node will appear greyed out and stop any work it is currently doing The removed nodes continue processing job 25

computation Grid Node Management If a node keeps failing tasks, it will be automatically excluded and blacklisted To unblacklist and include a node, select it and click The node will then automatically begin processing any available tasks Nodes are marked as dead when disconnected for longer than 5 days (default) To delete disconnected and dead nodes, select the required nodes and click

computation Grid "We have experience of running other grid software but the Inferno Grid is the best we have come across" Joe Mernagh Chief Knowledge Officer at Evotec OAI
