3. Ecosystem Workflow 2. Submit compute job. EG: long running parallel high memory heat/stress analysis from home. iCSF RVDS CSF RDS 3. Check on compute job. EG: while away at conference in Barcelona. Submit other jobs. SSH CSF RDS 4. Analyse results EG: In application GUI on laptop in hotel & back in office. iCSF RVDS RDS 5. Publish results. EG: Front-end Web Server running on RVMS accessing Isilon share. RVMS RDS 1. Input preparation. EG: upload data to RDS, set job parameter in application GUI, in office on campus. iCSF RVDS SSHFS RDS

4. CIR Stats CSF – £1.3m academic contribution since Dec 2010 5000 CPU cores – £175k more lined up (Jan 2014?) – Awaiting outcome of some big bids…Kilburn??? Storage – Isilon – 500 PB per year – Current: 120 TB for each faculty – going fast! Network – July: £1.5m on Cisco kit – 80 Gb core, 10Gb buildings People – Pen, George, Simon

5. Recent and Current Work Redqueen – Summer: RGF-funded refresh of 50% of cluster – Integration with Isilon (RDN) CSF (mostly batch compute) – Summer: £300k procurement – RDN: moving all home-dirs to Isilon (keep local Lustre-based scratch) Gateways – SSH and SSHFS/SFTP – Research Virtual Desktop Service: NX, X2GO New Clusters – Incline/iCSF: interactive compute – Zreck: GPGPUs, Xeon Phi, FPGA, … RDN (20 Gb) – CSF, Redqueen, Incline/iCSF, Zreck – Michael Smith (FLS)
