HPC Software Solutions through Partnerships

2015 Lenovo

• Building Partnerships to provide

the “Best In-Class” HPC Cluster

Solutions for our customers

• Collaborating with software vendors

to provide features that optimizes

customer workloads

• Leveraging “Open Source”

components that are production

ready

• Contributing to “Open Source” (i.e.

xCAT, Confluent, OpenStack) to

enhance our platforms

• Providing “Services” to help

customers deploy and optimize their

clusters

Holistic solution management

Weak GUI

Complex to learn

Lacking structure

Poor enablement for web

development

Good for large clusters, difficult for

smaller solutions/enterprise

networks

WEB ORCHESTRATIONInitial GOALs

Provide easy cluster access to new HPC customers using Open Source HPC

Infrastructure Low cost entry into HPC

Visual summary views to help understand cluster usage Admin Console – User management, Cluster Monitoring

User Console – Jobs submission, Job/Cluster Monitoring

Initial target and Proof of Concept trials – China Market Focus on China Market first – A lot of customers are just coming into HPC workloads

Collaborating with customers to understand their usage models and future requirements

Very positive feedback and market acceptance

LiCO – Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration was released to China market

WW Market – Create English version and work with collaborators to release

the English version as “Open Source” project : OSMWC Oxford University collaboration

Lenovo Intelligent Cluster Orchestrator (LiCO)

What is Web Console:

An Unified GUI

• User Portal (dashboard, submit job, monitor job)

• Admin Portal (dashboard, user/account management)

Future Work Items:

• SLURM integration

• ICINGA integration

• Intel OPA integration

• LDAP integration

Confluent Goals

2015 Lenovo

Lenovo led project to improve upon xCAT heritage

Carries on strong CLI and other facets of xCAT

More structured interface

Easier to learn

Web development enabled – RESTful APIs – good GUI possible

Faster performance/lower memory usage/higher scalability for large solutions

Better equipped to work in smaller configurations without full network control

Enhanced security model

Reuse effort across HPC, Openstack, xClarity efforts

Reuse development effort across multiple projects (Lenovo/external

Ecosystem)

More contributions from third parties

11

Confluent updates

• xCAT style noderanges

• Client connections persist across server restart (e.g. consoles)

• xCAT style commands:– nodehealth (new)

– nodesensors (like rvitals)

– nodepower (like rpower)

– nodeeventlog (like reventlog)

– nodeconsole (like rcons)

– nodesetboot (like rsetboot)

– nodeidentify (like rbeacon)

– nodelist (like nodels)

• Inventory in API (nodeinventory to come, similar to rinv)

• Dynamic nodegroups (groups with a ‘noderange’ attribute get expanded)

• Enriched debugging facilities

• Rotating log support (defaults to daily)2015 Lenovo
