Dr. Srinidhi Varadarajan - on - Workload Management for Linux (plus raffle for BOSE Headphones) We have covered many aspects of Linux clustering recently ranging from wiring, provisioning nodes and running jobs. Now that your cluster is getting useful work done, the next important step is to optimize workload control and maximize the efficiency of your system. Dr. Srinidhi Varadarajan, CTO of Evergrid, will discuss how their workload management technology for Linux, Load Manager, can deliver: 1. Application consolidation, to maximize server utilization while delivering a predictable level of service. 2. Detailed monitoring of application resource usage - without modification to either the OS or application and with negligible overhead. Load Manager delivers fine grain control and monitoring of system resource independently across CPU, memory, network read / write & storage read / write. As a user space technology, it is completely transparent to both the OS and application with minimal overhead (typically less than 1%). Load Manager enables multiple applications to be consolidated on a single server by placing users, groups or applications into Containers, and allocating resources to these Containers. It has a dynamic rebalancing system where unused system resources allocated to one Container can be reallocated to other Containers on the same server, thereby maximizing server utilization while guaranteeing SLA.s. Srinidhi will discuss and demonstrate multiple use cases for both consolidating and monitoring applications using this technology today (supporting RHEL 3, 4 & 5, SLES 9 & 10), and discuss how Load Manager will leverage the emerging Control Groups technology to deliver even greater functionality on upcoming distributions (RHEL 6 / SLES 11). Your open source feedback is needed! During the last 15 minutes of this meeting, Evergrid will open the floor to comments about which components could be open sourced and offer the most value to the community. Raffle for BOSE Headphones: At the conclusion of the meeting, Evergrid will be raffling off a pair of high-end BOSE headphones. About Srinidhi Varadarajan: Dr. Srinidhi Varadarajan is the CTO of Evergrid, as well as the Director of the Terascale Computing Facility and an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. His research interests are in the area of high performance computer systems, in particular: fault tolerance in large-scale distributed systems, network emulation, network routing algorithms, compiler directed frameworks and parallel simulation algorithms. Srinidhi heads the Computing Systems Research Laboratory and serves as a core faculty in the Laboratory for Advanced Scientific Computing and Applications Meeting Location: Please note that this meeting will be held at IBM, 590 Madison Ave, 12th floor, corner of 57th Street, and not at Google. This is the building with the IBM logo on the front of the building. Map: http://tighturl.com/m Books!!! Our friends at Prentice-Hall kindly provide us with review copies of various new titles. One of these could be yours, all you have to do is agree to review the book within a reasonable period of time. Swag (Give Away): During/after the meeting... unusually terrific swag may be given away. Stammtisch: After the meeting ... You may wish to join up with other NYLUGgers over at TGI Fridays located at 677 Lexington Avenue and 56th Street, second floor. Northeast corner. Python Workshops: We are rounding up a group that wants to learn Python. This would be a great time to attend our workshop. Those interested in working on the new NYLYG Web site are strongly encouraged to attend also. Work has just begun on the new NYLUG Jobs site. The workshops meet every other Tuesday, at the NY Public Library, Hudson Park Branch. 66 Leroy St. NY NY from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Next meeting is May 27th.
