hosting Taito (HP)
Starting with one head unit (Vestibule) and two
expansion modules ; extra capacity can be increased
by introducing more expansion units.
Thanks to dozens of automated cooling fans, the
energy needed for cooling can be adjusted very
accurately as IT capacity is increased gradually.
Assembly in Italy
Internal temperature setpoint 27OC (ASHRAE) and
occasionally ASHRAE tolerated (27-30OC) during
possible summer heat waves.
As long as outdoor temperatures are less than 28OC,
Unit does nothing but free cooling. During heat waves
extra water and some chillers possibly needed.
During winter, the exhaust (warm) air is
re-circulated to warm up the incoming air.

Cray environment
Typical Cray environment
Compilers: Cray, Intel and GNU
Debuggers
– Totalview, tokens shared between HP and Cray
Cray MPI
Cray tuned versions of all usual libraries
SLURM
Module system similar to Louhi
Default shell now bash (previously tcsh)
25.01.2013
HP Environment
Compilers: Intel, GNU
MPI libraries: Intel, mvapich2, OpenMPI
Batch queue: SLURM
New more robust module system
– Only compatible modules shown with module avail
– Use module spider to see all
Default shell now bash (used to be tcsh)
Disk system changes
25.01.2013
Core development tools
Intel XE Development Tools
– Compilers
C/C++ (icc), Fortran (ifort), Cilk+
– Profilers and trace utilities
Vtune, Thread checker, MPI checker
– MKL numerical library
– Intel MPI library (only on HP)
Cray Application Development Environment
GNU Compiler Collection
TotalView debugger

MKL the best choice on Sandy Bridge, for now.
(On Cray, LibSci will likely be a good alternative)
25.01.2013
Compilers, programming
Intel
– Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013
– http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-clusterstudio-xe
GNU
– GNU-compilers, e.g. GCC 4.7.2.
– http://gcc.gnu.org/
Intel can be used together with GNU
– E.g. gcc or gfortran + MKL + IntelMPI
mvapich2 MPI-library also supported
– It can be used that Intel or GNU
25.01.2013
Available applications
Ready:
– Taito: Gromacs, NAMD, Gaussian, Turbomole,
Amber, CP2K, Elmer, VASP
– Sisu: Gromacs, GPAW, Elmer, VASP
CSC offers ~240 scientific applications
– Porting them all is a big task
– Most if not all (from Vuori) should be available
Some installations upon request
– Do you have priorities?
25.01.2013
Porting strategy
At least recompile
– Legacy binaries may run, but not optimally
– Intel compilers preferred for performance
– Use Intel MKL or Cray LibSci (not ACML!)
http://software.intel.com/sites/products/mkl/
– Use compiler flags (i.e. -xhost -O2 (includes –xAVX))
Explore optimal thread/task placement
– Intra-node and internode
Refactor the code if necessary
– OpenMP/MPI workload balance
– Rewrite any SSE assembler or intrinsics
25.01.2013
Modules
Some software installations are conflicting
with each other
– For example different versions of programs
and libraries
Modules facilitate the installation of
conflicting packages to a single system
– User can select the desired environment and
tools using module commands
– Can also be done "on-the-fly"
25.01.2013
Key differencies (Taito vs. Vuori)
module avail shows only those modules
that can be loaded to current setup (no
conflicts or extra dependencies)
– Use module spider to list all installed
modules and solve the conflics/dependencies
No PrgEnv- modules
– Changing the compiler module switches also
MPI and other compiler specific modules

IDA storage service
Common storage service for research
Safe storage with quaranteed integrity and
duplication management for both data and
metadata
IDA service promise
 The IDA service quarantees data storage till at least end of year 2017.






By that timeline it will be decided if IDA or some other service solution
(for example Long Term Storage solution) continues to serve as data
storage. If some other solution is available, the data will be
automatically transferred to this service, no interaction needed from
users.
The IDA service quarantees at least 3 petabytes stporage capacity.
When transferring data to IDA, some metadata will automatically be
attached to the data.
During this time period, there are no costs to the user within agreed
service policy.
Owners of data can decide on data use, openness and data policy.
TTA strongly recommends clear ownership and IPR management for all
datasets
After 2017, metadata attached to datasets has to be more extensive
than minumum metadata.

ARCHIVE, dos and don’ts
Don’t put small files in $ARCHIVE
–
–
–
–
Small files waste capacity
Less than 10 MB is small
Keep the number of files small
Tar and bzip files
Don’t use $ARCHIVE for incremental backup
(store, delete/overwrite, store, …)
– Space on tape is not freed up until months or years!
Maximum file size 300GB
Default quota 2 TB per user, new likely up to 5 TB
New ARCHIVE being installed, consider if you
really need all your old files. Transfer from old to
new needed.
25.01.2013
Use Profiles
Taito (HP)
Sisu (Cray XE30)
– Serial and parallel
upto about 256
cores (TBD)
25.01.2013
– Parallel up to
thousands of cores
– Scaling tests
Queue/server policies
Longrun queue has drawbacks
– Shorter jobs can be chained
Apps that can’t restart/write checkpoint?
– Code you use to run very long jobs?
Large memory jobs to Hippu/HP big
memory nodes
– Think about memory consumption
Minimum job size in Cray
– Your input?

Grand Challenges
Normal GC call (deadline 28.01.2013)
– new CSC resources available for a year
– no bottom limit for number of cores
Special GC call (mainly for Cray) (deadline
28.01.2013)
– possibility for short (day or less) runs with the
whole Cray
– What do you need?
Remember also PRACE/DECI

How to prepare for new systems
Participate in system workshops
Try Intel/GNU compiler in advance, PGI upon request
Check if your scripts/aliases need fixing (bash)
A lot of resources available in the beginning: prepare
ahead what to run!
The traditional wisdom about good application
performance will still hold
– Experiment with all compilers and pay attention on finding
good compiler optimization flags
– Employ tuned numerical libraries wherever possible
– Experiment with settings of environment variable that control
the MPI library
– Mind the I/O: minimize output, checkpoint seldom

Customer training
Taito (HP)
– Taito cluster workshop(s) in Q1, 2013
Sisu (Cray)
– February 26 - March 1, 2013 (mostly for pilot
users, open for everyone)
– May 14 - May 17 (for all users, a PATC course,
i.e. expecting participants from other countries

Three service models of cloud computing
Software
SaaS
Operating systems
PaaS
Computers and
networks
IaaS

Example: Virtualization in Taito
Taito cluster:
two types of nodes, HPC and cloud

Operating system
Same for all: CSC’s cluster OS
Chosen by the user
Software
installation
Done by cluster administrators
Customers can only install software to their
own directories, no administrative rights
Installed by the user
The user has admin rights
User accounts
Managed by CSC’s user administrator
Managed by the user
Security e.g.
software patches
CSC administrators manage the common
software and the OS
User has more responsibility:
e.g. patching of running
machines
Running jobs
Jobs need to be sent via the cluster’s Batch
Scheduling System (BSS)
The user is free to use or not
use a BSS
Environment
changes
Changes to SW (libraries, compilers) happen. The user can decide on
versions.
Snapshot of the
environment
Not possible
Performance
25.01.2013
Can save as a Virtual Machine
image
Performs well for a variety of tasks
Very small virtualization overhead
for most tasks, heavily I/O bound
and MPI tasks affected more
Cloud: Biomedical pilot cases
Several pilots (~15)
Users from several institutions, e.g.
University of Helsinki, Finnish Institute for
Molecular Medicine and Technical
University of Munich
Many different usage models, e.g.:
Extending existing cluster
Services run on CSC IaaS by university IT
department for end users (SaaS for end users)
