Open Stack

Brian,

If you need any parallel MPI benchmarking data on OpenStack deployment (Gigabit), I will be happy to give a 10 minutes presentation on the work we did at UCLA. Thanks.

Prakashan

Thierry says no unconference sessions this year.  However, I just forwarded an alternative if we can contribute some topics to the operator's summit.

Brian

PS: Anyone available to give at talk on your recent work?  Think the DC summit talk would be interesting to this crowd.

They’re still doing unconference sessions, or at least they did in Hong Kong.  The trick is to sign up very early, because the unconference sessions get taken quickly.  Sorry that I can’t make it this time, but I hope that you’re able to snag a room.

We received a notice that our HPC session didn't make the cut.  Anyone have any suggestions?   Are they still doing informal unconference session rooms like in years past?   I've not attended personally in recent years (was sending Lorin Hochstein instead), so not sure if the design summit has outgrown that informal setup.

Proposal for an HPC unconference session at OpenStack Juno Design Summit (Atlanta)

UPDATE: session was turned down.

This a proposal for an OpenStack unconference session as a birds-of-a-feature for the HPC community.  The goal would be to share deployment and operational experiences for using OpenStack in an HPC setting.  This might be bare metal, hybrid (HPC backend with cloud login front-ends), or pure virtualized HPC.

The session has been proposed:
    http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/227

How should we organize this?  (vote for more than one)


  *    1 or 2 speakers?

  *   open lightning talks?  +1

  *   round table discussion

  *   open discussion? +1

What do you want to get out of this session?


  *   Understand what other HPC folks are doing.

  *   Get up to date on HPC-relevant technology


Potential Topics:


  *   PCI/GPU passthrough

  *   InfiniBand SR-IOV

  *   NUMA configuration

  *   Scalability +1

  *   Bare metal integration

  *   Comparison to "traditional" HPC style visioning (e.g., Warewulf, Rocks) and resource management (e.g., SLURM, Torque)


Potential Speakers:


  *    GPU passthrough -  "GPU Passthrough in the Cloud: A comparison of KVM, Xen, VMWare ESXi, and LXC" John Paul Walters, Computer Scientist, USC/ISI   (JP won't be at OS, but maybe someone from the ISI group could give this talk)

  *

Interested Participants:
    Andrew J. Younge - Indiana University - ajyounge at indiana.edu<mailto:ajyounge at indiana.edu> - maybe?
    Brian Schott - Nimbis Services - brian.schott at nimbisservices.com<mailto:brian.schott at nimbisservices.com> + 3 developers
    Prakashan Korambath ppk at ucla.edu<mailto:ppk at ucla.edu> :  I am specifically interested in learning about the IB SR-IOV implementation.  I know people have done it, but if somebody has experience with it please give us a presentation.  Also, if you guys can share your neutron network configuration set up that would be great as well. Heat orchestration to deploy a small cluster will be of interest to me as well.    If  you are using Chef or Puppet to maintain your set up please give a presentation as well.  Thanks.
Mehdi Denou - mehdi.denou at gmail.com<mailto:mehdi.denou at gmail.com> : I will not be present but I hope the presentation (at least pdf or anything else) will be available after the conference :) thanks.
Scott McMillan - Intel - scott.a.mcmillan at intel.com<mailto:scott.a.mcmillan at intel.com> : +1 to bare metal related topics
Tim Bell - CERN - tim.bell at cern.ch<mailto:tim.bell at cern.ch>
Theodore Omtzigt - theo at stillwater-sc.com<mailto:theo at stillwater-sc.com>: I am interested in HPC application orchestration and integration with OpenStack. In particular, VM affinity control of MPMD style MPI programs, but also the use of Linux containers and Docker style environments for hardware accelerated infrastructures.
Stephen Gordon - sgordon at redhat.com: Interested in understanding how HPC users are using OpenStack today and the kind of gaps that they would like to see filled in the future. Particularly interested in NUMA awareness and SR-IOV.
Debo Dutta - dedutta A.T. cisco DTCOM: Am interested in cross services scheduling techniques that span both virtual and bare metal.
Scott Devoid - Argonne National Lab - devoid at anl.gov<mailto:devoid at anl.gov>
Doron Fediuck - dfediuck at redhat.com<mailto:dfediuck at redhat.com> interestend in NUMA implementations, as well as other performance related sessions.

I went ahead and pushed the button on the session request:
http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/227

We should continue to update the EtherPad:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/juno-hpc-unconference

How should we organize this?
What do you want to get out of this session?
Do we want a series of lightning talks?  open discussion?  round table?

Feel free to vote / comment on etherpad!

OK, I've created an Etherpad here so we can collect our thoughts for a session:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/juno-hpc-unconference

When we get a little content filled in, we can propose an unconference session here:
http://summit.openstack.org

Looks like the deadline is April 10.

Certainly interested in participating.

We've been incorporating OpenStack into our HPC environment and would
love to learn and share.

A lot of interest in Openstack-HPC here at Canonical. We would be willing to help pull together something if there is interest.

Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we could reserve one of the session rooms for an evening meetup or reserve an unconference slot.

Since the program has been announced (http://openstacksummitmay2014atlanta.sched.org/), I assume not?

But if there is interest, we could organize a meetup around a particular booth or session?
