Please brain-dump here requests, requirements and suggestions for moderate-to-large scale processing tasks, storage needs, Science Platform service expansion, etc. that we'll need to undertake during FY2020 (October 2019 through September 2020). These will be used to inform Data Facility procurement.
Summary | Requested by | Estimated compute or storage requirements | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is needed? | Lead person to ask question of | Try to be as accurate as you can. | Why is this needed; where should it go;... |
Qserv for AuxTel/Comcam commissioning data connected to lsp-stable – servers with internal disk; How much internal disk in each server (Fritz Mueller Kian-Tat Lim) and I assume a head node? is this 1 or 2? and do you know how much SSD you need in the head node? shall I order one like what is on the lsp-int one today? (same as PDAC?) | servers + internal disks; 1? head node with SSD | This will be for qserv access for the -stable side of LSP for commissioning data and auxtel data. | |
| APDB machines | couple of servers (failover?) with shared disk resources? or internal disks that are replicated between servers? or 1 server for now because it's test? | Alert processing database systems | |
| Stack-club / LSP-club support | Currently sized to support ~40 accounts. When we can serve catalogs in Qserv (202 timescale), many other SCs will start to take an interest. |
