Rocks <http://www.rocksclusters.org> is used by CAC and Cornell’s Computer Sciences dept (with CU AD). We instead use warewulf, with torque and maui.

Rocks

Contacts

Rocks is used at CS and CAC.

  • 3/13/13: Lulu and Oliver met with CS's Martin Berggren <mjb43>, to discuss Rocks.
  • Oliver can make introductions to CAC staff, including Resa Alford <resa.alvord> and Steven Lee, among others.

Here’s what appears to be a good overview in setting up an HPC cluster. This is the 2nd of 6 “pages”, which has a link to Rocks <http://www.rocksclusters.org>, but not Warewulf:

I parked Martin's info below (in his use of SSSD, though he doesn't mention it specifically) at our ever-growing wiki page about Linux and CU AD:

https://confluence.cornell.edu/x/PQdIDg

As you know, he uses Puppet. And his clusters are Rocks; as I shared with you, each of his compute nodes authenticates (and authorizes?) against CU AD.  And although the CIT project is in a "pilot", he is using their service in full-bore production mode for all his systems. :-)

Warewulf is what ChemIT uses

These articles on about using Warewulf  <http://warewulf.lbl.gov/trac>, as emailed to Lulu, from Oliver, 11/28/12:

Michael Hint noted 6/26/14 that is seems likely that someone in the Engineering college uses OpenStack (for clusters?):

Oliver found this article on "wetting up a real-world HPC cluster with Kickstart, SSH, Son of Grid Engine, and other free tools", by a SysAdmin, Gavin W. Burris, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences:
