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:
How should we organize this? (vote for more than one)
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:
- 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:
Prakashan Korambath ppk@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@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. Theodore Omtzigt - theo@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@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.
Doron Fediuck - dfediuck@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.

That would be a great idea. Is it still possible to submit official ones?
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?
