[JLSE-Admins] Tubes Use
by Allen, Benjamin S. 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi Raj, Operations has been discussing what todo with the Tubes testbed so it more appropriately sits in one of JLSE's public network subnets. We're interested the timeline of returning the DTN hardware that makes up Tubes back to production, so I want to explore what hardware we have in JLSE that could be reasonably updated to provide a similar resource if needed. First do we still need a 4x10GbE public connected resource in JLSE? If we're going to re-use JLSE hardware or build a replacement, what would your ideal "Tubes" testbed be spec'ed like, CPU, memory, etc. Note, we don't have 40GbE switch ports, so I can only replace the machine with another that has 4x10GbE either connected through JLSE's switches or directly to Donald (ALCF's core router in 240). Thanks, Ben

Ben, I'm primary interested in 2699v3, so I'll wait 2-3 weeks. I need to use one of the machines in a room temperature environment. Ron Rahaman and Andrew Siegel may be interested in 2603v3 if they can change the cluster-on-die setting (I guess it is a BIOS setting) - kaz On 11/19/2014 10:36 AM, Allen, Benjamin S. wrote: > Hi Kaz, > > The 4U Haswell machines are currently at SC'14 for the student cluster competition. I'm guessing we'll have them back in 2-3 weeks. The only Haswell machine I have right now is "snell", which is a SuperMicro 1RU: 2x E5-2603v3, 64GB RAM (16x4GB). It's currently racked in the data center.

Hi Kaz, The 4U Haswell machines are currently at SC'14 for the student cluster competition. I'm guessing we'll have them back in 2-3 weeks. The only Haswell machine I have right now is "snell", which is a SuperMicro 1RU: 2x E5-2603v3, 64GB RAM (16x4GB). It's currently racked in the data center. You can access it within JLSE right now.

Would it be possible to use one or two of the Haswell machines? Pete and others are asking me for a quick series of experiments on Haswell. I'd like to have one in the room temperature environment. I don't need the Phi cards for this experiment. - kaz On 11/18/2014 03:40 PM, Allen, Benjamin S. wrote: > Kumar and Raj, > > Shall I go ahead with getting say 18 or so of the cheap Xeon Phi's purchased?
