At Penn State we are working on deploying a multi-phased effort. Our first phase, deploys a partial Openstack and "Traditional" HPC split system, which gives us time to deploy and tune the Openstack configuration and then expand to a full Openstack governed infrastructure once Ironic is released supported in April. The traditional HPC piece allows users that require access to new cores now, continue to work as we finalize the deployment of our research cloud. The two follow-on hardware/software deployments, expands the infrastructure to support bare-metal as well as virtualized workloads, and eventually rolls the remaining "Traditional HPC" systems under the same Openstack umbrella giving more control to our researchers and a choice of consumption models to meet the broad needs of our community. ________________________________ Chuck Gilbert Systems Architect and Systems Team Lead for Advanced CyberInfrastructure Institute for Cyberscience The Pennsylvania State University Phone: 814.867.4575 Email: cjg23(a)psu.edu ________________________________________ From: openstack-hpc-request(a)lists.openstack.org [openstack-hpc-request(a)lists.openstack.org] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 7:00 AM To: openstack-hpc(a)lists.openstack.org Subject: OpenStack-HPC Digest, Vol 21, Issue 6 Send OpenStack-HPC mailing list submissions to openstack-hpc(a)lists.openstack.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-hpc or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to openstack-hpc-request(a)lists.openstack.org You can reach the person managing the list at openstack-hpc-owner(a)lists.openstack.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OpenStack-HPC digest..."

Using OpenStack as an overall resource allocation system to ensure all compute usage is accounted and managed is of great interest. The highlighted items above will remain but hopefully we are work with others in the community to address them (as we are with nested projects) Take a look at Mesos (mesos.apache.org, mesosphere.com) I did some thinking on openstack+hpc topic but didn't like the conclusions I arrived at so I went shopping for alternatives. Mesos+docker looks like the best one so far. https://jure.pecar.org/2014-12-22/spirals -- Jure Pe?ar http://jure.pecar.org ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ OpenStack-HPC mailing list OpenStack-HPC(a)lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-hpc End of OpenStack-HPC Digest, Vol 21, Issue 6 ********************************************

How are you using OpenStack for your HPC workflow? (We're looking at Ironic!)
by Jonathon A Anderson 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Hi, everybody! We at CU-Boulder Research Computing are looking at using OpenStack Ironic for our HPC cluster(s). I’ve got a sysadmin background, so my initial goal is to simply use OpenStack to deploy our traditional queueing system (Slurm), and basically use OpenStack (w/Ironic) as a replacement for Cobbler, xcat, perceus, hand-rolled PXE, or whatever else sysadmin-focused PXE-based node provisioning solution one might use. That said, once we have OpenStack (and have some competency with it), we’d presumably be well positioned to offer actual cloud-y virtualization to our users, or even offer baremetal instances for direct use for some of our (presumably most trusted) users. But how about the rest of you? Are you using OpenStack in your HPC workloads today? Are you doing “traditional” virtualization? Are you using the nova-compute baremetal driver? Are you using Ironic? Something even more exotic? And, most importantly, how has it worked for you? I’ve finally got some nodes to start experimenting with, so I hope to have some real hands-on experience with Ironic soon. (So far, I’ve only been able to do traditional virtualization on some workstations.) ~jonathon
