Dedicated Batch compute allocation process

Unknown User (mbutler)

  • Need a long term allocation process
  • need a policy on who should run on the batch compute and not on lsst-dev01
  • lsst-dev01 gets bogged down sometimes... need to manage that resource a bit better from a project perspective.
  • Do we need more LSST-dev01 systems? (lsst-dev02...etc)
  • more login nodes as submit machines, and then lsst-dev01 is a more managed resource?
  • something to think about
GPFS usageUnknown User (mbutler)
  • 3PB installed. NCSA is working on the areas of where all this storage will be allocated. Much storage is needed for incoming datasets and others. Need to put forth a proposal. After JTM
  • Home Directories quota. –
    • what users are effected by the quota, and get them underneath the quota, and the post in the MOTD or something about it.
    • Want a Inode quota too and same as above – who would be impacted by said quota (probably no one.. they are usually huge!)
