[Halld-offline] List of GlueX-related computer farms

[Mark Ito]

We have a wiki page 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Computer_Farms>, reproduced 
below, that dates from 2009 and lists computing resources at 
GlueX-collaborating institutions. I would like to get this updated with 
current information. Please take a look and make updates as you see fit. 
At this point partial information is better than eight-year-old information.

  Computer Farms

 From GlueXWiki

Several computer farms exist that can potentially be used by GlueX 
collaborators. This page attempts to list the farms and some rough 
parameters that can be used to gauge their ability. For each farm, there 
is a contact person who you will need to coordinate with in order to get 
access. The exception being the JLab farm which can be accessed through 
the CUE system.


Institution 	contact 	Nodes 	Cores 	CPU 	Memory 	OS 	Notes
JLab 	Sandy Philpott <mailto:Sandy.Philpott at jlab.org> 	240 	400 
2.66GHz-3.2GHz 	500MB-2GB/node 	Fedora 8 	This is the "Scientific 
Computing" farm only (there is another HPC farm for lattice 
calculations.) This is available to anyone with a JLab CUE computer 
account. However, it is often busy with processing experimental data.
Indiana Univ. 	Matt Shepherd <mailto:mashephe at indiana.edu> 	55 	110 
1.6GHz 	
	
	
Indiana Univ. 	Matt Shepherd <mailto:mashephe at indiana.edu> 	768 	1536 
2.5GHz 	
	
	This is University-level farm that we can get access to if really 
needed. From Matt's e-mail:
/"If we need mass simulation work, we can also try to tap into the 
university research computing machines (Big Red has 768 dual 2.5 GHz 
nodes), but these might be best reserved for very large simulation jobs 
like Pythia background for high-stats analyses."/
Univ. of Edinburgh 	Dan Watts <mailto:dwatts1 at ph.ed.ac.uk> 	1456 	1456 	
	
	Linux 	This is a large, high performance farm from which you can buy 
time. From Dan's e-mail:
/"We have access to a very large farm here at Edinburgh. We can apply to 
purchase priority time on the farm or have a current base subscription 
which schedules the jobs with lower priority (but seems to run fine for 
the current usage). It is a high-performance cluster of servers (1456 
processors) and storage (over 275Tb of disk)."/

	360 	240 AMD 2GHz
60 AMD 2.4GHz
60 1GHz Xeon 	1GB/core 	Centos 5 	From Richard's e-mail:
/"This cluster has local users who have top priority, but right now it 
is really under-utilized. Scheduling is by condor, login on head node 
only."/
Florida State Univ. 	Paul Eugenio <mailto:eugenio at fsu.edu> 	60 	118 	88 
cores: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
30 cores: AMD MP 2600 	1-2GB/core 	Upgrading to Rocks 5.1 (CentOS 5 
based) (currently CentOS 4.5 (Rocks 4.3) 	FSU Nuclear Physics Group cluster
Florida State Univ. 	Paul Eugenio <mailto:eugenio at fsu.edu> 	400 	2788 
D-Core 2220 2.8 GHz Opterons, Q-Core 2356 2.3 GHz Opteron, Q-Core AMD 
2382 Processors Shanghai 2.6GHz 	2GB/core 	x86_64 Centos 5 based Rocks

Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz 	1GB/node 	Red Hat 9 	Batch system: condor 
queue, access through head node. NFS disk handling; close to 0.75 TB
