HPC engineering TODO List
Benchmarking
- Openfoam benchmarking (ARM vs Sandy bridge)#
- Single node tests
- OpenMPI for full 12/48 calx nodes
- Blender, open source rendering. To get a feel for ARM vs Intel on media projects
- jbench (see what the JVM performance is like on a system, ejre vs openjdk)
- Itaru (BWA genome stuff) pBWA doesnt scale (needs 12 more systems)
- justonedb guys, mysql vs postgres vs justonedb with their data sets (bloom analytics software) Peter
- spec cpu and hepspec on arm
- DP to email spec
- openmpi 1.6 results for all tests
- JH IMB tests, pingpong np=2, all tests 2 nodes, 4 nodes, 8 nodes
- linpack HPL
Software testing
- Hadoop terasort on v1.0.3 apache
- Install / tests CDH (Cloudera distribution of hadoop)
- JH Intel e3-1220L-v2 ivy bridge, sysbench power/performance tests
- JH cxmanage on the headnode, and on wiki
- VDI and spice for ubuntu / fedora, test on ARM, instructions on wiki
- Openstack, newest release with dashboard
- ScaleIO to port software to ARM (source and rebuild)
- Zettaset
- DP put in touch with UK partner #
- Ubuntu stuff to do:
- MaaS
- JuJu
- Landscape
- apt-proxy
Hardware Bits
- Server range for Viglen
- Stage 1: Hardware on SB similar to current range
- Stage 2: Additional storage products for schools (cheap NAS / iSCSI solution) to compete against hitachi
- Stage 3: Solutions, cloud, vmware?
