Latest news on the DEEP-EST prototype system
This is a summary of the latest news concerning the system. For a list of known problems related to the system, please refer to this page.
Last update: 2023-05-167'
System software
- ParaStation update (psmgmt) to 5.1.53-1 has been performed
OS
- compute nodes, bxi nodes and login node have been updated to Rocky 8.6
- file servers and master nodes to follow
EasyBuild
- 2023 stage is the default now
System hardware
CM nodes
- the cluster nodes have direct EBR IB access to the SSSM storage nodes now (without using the IB ↔ 40 GbE gateway)
ESB nodes
- all ESB nodes (
dp-esb[01-75]
) are using EDR Infiniband interconnect (no Extoll anymore) - SSSM and AFSM file servers can be directly accessed through IB
DAM nodes
- DAM nodes are using EDR Infiniband (instead of using 40 GbE and Extoll) now
- SSSM and AFSM file servers can be directly accessed through IB
- current accelerator layout:
dp-dam[01-08]
: 1 x Nvidia V100 GPU- `dp-dam02: 1 x Intel PAC D5005 FPGA (for testing)
dp-dam[09-12]
: 2 x Nvidia V100 GPUdp-dam[13-16]
: 2 x Intel PAC D5005 FPGA
BXI nodes, Network Federation Gateways
- former network federation gateways now used for BXI testing:
dp-nfgw[02,03,05,06]
- can be accessed via Slurm using partition
dp-bxi
SDV
- FPGA test nodes available for using FPGAs with oneAPI, OpenCL:
- Arria10: deeper-sdv[09,10]
- Stratix10: dp-sdv-esb[01,02]
File Systems
please also refer to the Filesystems overview
- quota has been added to
/tmp
ondeepv
to avoid congestion - the All Flash Storage Module (AFSM) provides a fast work file system mounted to
/afsm
(symbolic link to/work
) on all compute nodes (CM, DAM, ESB) and the login node (deepv
)- it is managed via project subfolders: after activating a project environment using
jutil
command the$WORK
will be set accordingly
- it is managed via project subfolders: after activating a project environment using
- the older System Services and Storage Module (SSSM) work file system is obsolete, but still available at (
/work_old
) for data migration - SSSM still serves the /usr/local/software file system, but
- starting from Rocky 8 image
/usr/local
will is a local file system on the compute nodes /usr/local/software
is still shared and provided by the SSSM storage- in addition to the !Easybuild software stack the shared
/usr/local/software
filesystem contains some manually installed software in alegacy
subfolder
- starting from Rocky 8 image
