Revision as of 12:35, 1 March 2010

Current To-Do

Date represents last meeting where we discussed the item

  • Brad's Graphing Tool (19/Oct/09)
 * 2 y-axis scales (runtime and problem size)
 * error bars for left and right y-axes with checkboxes for each
  • TeraGrid Runs (28/Feb/10)

B = builds, R = runs, D = reports back to database, F = "finished" -- there is a good set of runs (10 per data point) in the database that appear on a graph

  • New cluster (5/Feb/10)
 * wiki page
 * Decommission Cairo
 * Figure out how to mount on Telco Rack
 * Get pdfs of all materials -- post them on wiki
  • BCCD Testing (5/Feb/10)
 * Get Fitz's liberation instructions into wiki
 * Get Kevin's VirtualBox instructions into wiki
 * pxe booting -- see if they booted, if you can ssh to them, if the run matrix works 
 * Send /etc/bccd-revision with each email
 * Send output of netstat -rn and /sbin/ifconfig -a with each email
 * Run Matrix
 * For the future:  scripts to boot & change bios, watchdog timer, 'test' mode in bccd, send emails about errors
 * USB scripts -- we don't need the "copy" script
  • SIGCSE Conference -- March 10-13 (28/Feb/10)
 * Leaving 8:00 Wednesday
 * Brad, Sam, or Gus pick up the van around 7, bring it by loading dock outside Noyes
 * Posters -- new area runs for graphs, start implementing stats collection and OpenMP
  • Spring Cleaning (Noyes Basement) (5/Feb/10)
 * Next meeting: Saturday 6/Feb @ 3 pm

To Do

  • Fitz/Charlie's message
  • Petascale review
  • BobSCEd stress test

Implementations of area under the curve

  • Serial
  • OpenMP (shared)
  • MPI (message passing)
  • MPI (hybrid mp and shared)
  • OpenMP + MPI (hybrid)

GalaxSee Goals

  • Good piece of code, serves as teaching example for n-body problems in petascale.
  • Dials, knobs, etc. in place to easily control how work is distributed when running in parallel.
  • Architecture generally supports hybrid model running on large-scale constellations.
  • Produces runtime data that enables nice comparisons across multiple resources (scaling, speedup, efficiency).
  • Render in BCCD, metaverse, and /dev/null environments.
  • Serial version
  • Improve performance on math?

GalaxSee - scale to petascale with MPI and OpenMP hybrid.

  • GalaxSee - render in-world and steer from in-world.
  • Area under a curve - serial, MPI, and OpenMP implementations.
  • OpenMPI - testing, performance.
  • Start May 11th

LittleFe

  • Testing
  • Documentation
  • Touch screen interface

Notes from May 21, 2009 Review

  • Combined Makefiles with defines to build on a particular platform
  • Write a driver script for GalaxSee ala the area under the curve script, consider combining
  • Schema
    • date, program_name, program_version, style, command line, compute_resource, NP, wall_time
  • Document the process from start to finish
  • Consider how we might iterate over e.g. number of stars, number of segments, etc.
  • Command line option to stat.pl that provides a Torque wrapper for the scripts.
  • Lint all code, consistent formatting
  • Install latest and greatest Intel compiler in /cluster/bobsced

BobSCEd Upgrade

Build a new image for BobSCEd:

  1. One of the Suse versions supported for Gaussian09 on EM64T [v11.1] - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3; SuSE Linux 9.3, 10.3, 11.1; or SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 (see G09 platform list) <-- CentOS 5.3 runs Gaussian binaries for RHEL ok
  2. Firmware update?
  3. C3 tools and configuration [v4.0.1]
  4. Ganglia and configuration [v3.1.2]
  5. PBS and configuration [v2.3.16]
  6. /cluster/bobsced local to bs0
  7. /cluster/... passed-through to compute nodes
  8. Large local scratch space on each node
  9. Gaussian09
  10. WebMO and configuration [v9.1] - Gamess, Gaussian, Mopac, Tinker
  11. Infiniband and configuration
  12. GNU toolchain with OpenMPI and MPICH [GCC v4.4.0], [OpenMPI v1.3.2] [MPICH v1.2.7p1]
  13. Intel toolchain with OpenMPI and native libraries
  14. Sage with do-dads (see Charlie)
  15. Systemimager for the client nodes?

Installed:

Fix the broken nodes.
