There will be two speakers this week, both from the Broad Institute, discussing two different approaches to managing compute clusters.
Wednesday, April 14th MIT E51-149 7:00 Introductions and announcements 7:30 Presentation: "Building 16 systems in 16 minutes with xCAT" Ali Tayarani will discuss how we use xCAT to manage several hundred hosts in our general-purpose LSF-based compute cluster. 8:00 Presentation: "Redefining Compute Nodes and Provisioning" John Hanks will discuss his grand vision for the future (stateless compute nodes managed with Perceus), exemplified by our new genome-sequencing GridEngine cluster. -- Aaron D.
