2 Outline Short history Requirements ENEA Proposal ENEA Project Layout: work packages & deliverables Gateway computing environment for ITM TF Conclusions

3 Short history The idea of ITM Gateway by A. Becoulet helped by B.Guillerminet. (2006) it will offer European modellers the necessary elements needed to run and analyse fusion simulations Dataset and codes computer access and archive management minimum data visual tools Requirements finalized at ITM TF meeting (Gothenburg 10/2006) Call for proposals - Started in April 2007 / Closed in June 2007 Gateway Components: - Shared Storage Data Area: 30 TB (initially) 100 TB (over 4 years); intensive parallel I/O ( 800MB/s) - Computing Resources: Computing Cluster: 600 GFlops theoretical peak & 512 GB RAM - Hosting Service: data center providing: WAN access, security, backup Gbit or better link desirable - Installation and Operation: manpower for operation & direct interaction with vendors

4 Requirements (1) Shared Storage Data Area Wide Area Distributed File System (WADFS) for user home directories and code repository Parallel File System (PFS) for data and databases Hardware Server nodes for WADFS and PFS RAID disk array systems Storage infrastructure (Storage Area Network - SAN) Software WADFS & PFS reliable, scalable and preferably open source PFS over SAN for Intensive I/O peak performance 800 MBps DATA FLOW SAN based CLIENTS ETHERNET FC SAN IP LAN DISKS ARRAY FIBRE CHANNEL METADATA SERVERS METADATA FLOW

5 Requirements (2) Computing Resources A cluster with a powerful high speed, low latency interconnection system for message passing 2 hosts as Front-End and services: Portal, DBMS, user access interface Resource Management System (RMS): job scheduling, load balancing, etc.. Scientific Libraries and Data Analysis and Visualization tools (optional) Hardware Worker Nodes for HPC cluster; Front-End nodes Interconnection infrastructures (FC-SAN & InfiniBand) Rack mounted solution Software Unix-like OS and preferably open source (Scientific Linux) Single Sign-On Authentication service (LDAP+Kerberos V, preferably) RMS : LSF PBS - SGE Optimizing Fortran 77/95/2003 Optimizing C/C++ compilers Parallel Libraries (MPI/MPICH)

6 Requirements (3) The hosting data centre provides a set of services: Rack space with redundant power supply A Wide Area Network link of ~1Gbits is desirable, or attainable in near to medium term Network security, firewall and Intrusion Detection systems. Backup and staging service. Interaction with vendors for maintenance issues (next business day for hardware - 3 hour 24/7 for critical system components). Maintenance of operating environments (i.e. patches, security, updates, etc) Trouble ticket system for support in servers administration Skills in the administration of Unix clusters and High Performance Computing. Support for scientific computing and parallel programming tools would be highly desired Installation and Operation manpower to install and operate the gateway GATEWAY LAYOUT Planning Year 1 Year 2 Year3 Year 4 FS FS FS SWITCH GbE 24 port SWITCHes FC 64 ports WN#n WN#1 WN#2 Computing resources 64 cores (0.3 TFlops) 128 cores (0.6 TFlops) FC single-channel 3xFCdual-channel WN#16 Storage Resources 30Tb ~60Tb ~100TB SS 31.5 TB SS 3.15 TB SS 31.5 TB SS 21 TB SHARED STORAGE DATA AREA 100 TB (longer term) FC dual-channel COMPUTING RESOURCES A farm of 16 hosts GigaEthernet/InfiniBand interconnect Switch InfiniBand 24 port

7 ENEA proposal Proposal by Associazione Euratom-ENEA sulla fusione Provision of the HW/SW resources, Hosting services and Installation/Operation of Gateway Gateway housing at ENEA CRESCO HPC data center managed by ENEA IT Department (FIM) Full computational power ~1 TFlops since very beginning instead of 0.3TFlops per year Full storage capacity, 100 TB instead of 32 TB per year Access to 128 of ~2512 cores of CRESCO HPC facility by the end of July 2008 (free of charge) Possibility to use the full computational power of the CRESCO HPC facility (~25 TFlops peak performance) for code benchmarking, scalability tests etc Main comments of EFDA Offer Technical Evaluation Group (OTEG) Connectivity: InfiniBand both for Node-to-Node communication and storage area access instead of FC-SAN: performance penalty? Worker Nodes: CPU 2.2 GHz whereas 2.4 GHz were requested (for DualCore CPU)
