(2012-10-03) Bolte, Jonathan; Wernert, Julie; Seiffert, Kurt; Simms, Stephen C.; Link, Matthew R.; Pierce, Marlon; Marru, Suresh; Hancock, David Y.; Miller, Therese; Stewart, Craig A.
This document is a summary of the activities of the Research Technologies division of UITS, a Service & Cyberinfrastructure Center affiliated with the Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute, as part of the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) during XSEDE Program Year 1 (1 July 2011 – 30 June 2012). This document consists of three parts: - Section 2 of this document describes IU’s activities as an XSEDE Service Provider, using the format prescribed by XSEDE for reporting such activities. - Section 3 of this document describes IU’s activities as part of XSEDE management, operations, and support activities funded under a subcontract from the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA), the lead organization for XSEDE. This section is organized by the XSEDE Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) plan. - Appendix 1 is a summary table of IU’s education, outreach, and training events funded and supported in whole or in part by IU’s subcontract from NCSA as part of XSEDE.
Methods For Creating XSEDE Compatible Clusters
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2014-07-13) Fischer, Jeremy; Knepper, Richard; Standish, Matthew; Stewart, Craig A.; Alvord, Resa; Lifka, David; Hallock, Barbara; Hazlewood, Victor
The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment has created a suite of software that is collectively known as the basic XSEDE-compatible cluster build. It has been distributed as a Rocks roll for some time. It is now available as individual RPM packages, so that it can be downloaded and installed in portions as appropriate on existing and working clusters. In this paper, we explain the concept of the XSEDE-compatible cluster and explain how to install individual components as RPMs through use of Puppet and the XSEDE compatible cluster YUM repository.
Programmable Cyberinfrastructure: Introduction to Building Clusters in the Cloud
(PEARC 2017, 2017-07-10) Coulter, Eric; Fischer, Jeremy; Knepper, Richard; Reynolds, Resa
Cloud computing is growing area for educating students and performing meaningful scientific research. The challenge for many educators and researchers is knowing how to use some of the unique aspects of computing in the cloud. One key feature is true elastic computing - resources on demand. This can be as simple as being able to provision a single purpose-driven virtual machine by hand quickly and easily. It can be taken a step further into creating scripted launch of additional resources as needed. Beyond that, elastic computing techniques can go to the next level and create modest virtual clusters on demand. While cloud resources won't replace traditional HPC environments for large research projects, there are many smaller research and education projects that would benefit from the highly customizable, highly configurable, programmable cyberinfrastructure afforded by cloud computing environments. This tutorial will discuss the basic methods required for interacting with elastic computing environments. It will then show a hands-on approach to creating virtual clusters in an Openstack environment. Please come prepared with a laptop with working wireless internet, and the following packages installed: Python 2.7 or later, setuptools, pip (the following pip packages may be installed in a virtualenv if you are comfortable with that!), "pip install python-glanceclient python-cinderclient python-openstackclient python-novaclient python-neutronclient python-keystoneclient python-heatclient shade". The goal is to have a working openstack client interface on your machine; for more details, see: https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli-install-openstack-command-line-clients.html Required reading: It would be useful to explore the Jetstream wiki: https://wiki.jetstream-cloud.org - Particularly the sections on using the Jetstream API! We will provide training accounts and working openrc.sh files during the session!
Research Computing at a Business University
(PEARC 2019, 2019-07-30) Wells, Jason; Coulter, J. Eric
Research Computing demands are exploding beyond traditional disciplines due to the proliferation of data in all walks of life. At Bentley University ("Bentley"), a business university in the Boston area, this expansion has been most readily seen in our Account- ing, Economics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences departments. The result has been a small effort to build a research computing capability at this small New England university. This poster will serve as an overview of the steps taken to build such an effort at a business university, the revelations we have had along the way, and our plans for the future
Return on Investment for three Cyberinfrastructure facilities: a local campus supercomputer; the NSF-funded Jetstream cloud system; and XSEDE (the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment)
(2018) Stewart, Craig A.; Hancock, David Y.; Julie, Wernert; Link, Matthew R.; Wilkins-Diehr, Nancy; Miller, Therese; Gaither, Kelly; Snapp-Childs, Winona
The economics of high performance computing are rapidly changing. Commercial cloud offerings, private research clouds, and pressure on the budgets of institutions of higher education and federally-funded research organizations are all contributing factors. As such, it has become a necessity that all expenses and investments be analyzed and considered carefully. In this paper we will analyze the return on investment (ROI) for three different kinds of cyberinfrastructure resources: the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE); the NSF-funded Jetstream cloud system; and the Indiana University (IU) Big Red II supercomputer, funded exclusively by IU for use of the IU community and collaborators. We determined the ROI for these three resources by assigning financial values to services by either comparison with commercially available services, or by surveys of value of these resources to their users. In all three cases, the ROI for these very different types of cyberinfrastructure resources was well greater than 1 – meaning that investors are getting more than 1 dollar in returned value for every 1 dollar invested. While there are many ways to measure the value and impact of investment in cyberinfrastructure resources, we are able to quantify the short-term ROI and show that it is a net positive for campuses and the federal government respectively.
Security for science gateways and campus bridging: XSEDE12 panel (extended abstract)

Technical Report: Survey of cyberinfrastructure needs and interests of NSF-funded principal investigators
(2011-01-05) Stewart, Craig A.; Katz, Daniel S.; Hart, David L.; Lantrip, Dale; McCaulay, D. Scott; Moore, Richard L.
This document describes the methodology and results of a survey of researchers as regards their cyberinfrastructure needs and preferences. The purpose of this survey was to elicit information and requirements from researchers that were potential users of the future XD cyberinfrastructure (as defined in the solicitation TeraGrid Phase III: eXtreme Digital Resources for Science and Engineering (XD)), but whose needs would not have been identified from the many surveys of TeraGrid users.
Technical Report: TeraGrid eXtreme Digital Campus Cyberinfrastructure and Campus Bridging Requirements Elicitation Meeting
(2011-03) Stewart, Craig A.; McCaulay, D. Scott; Jul, Susanne; Moore, Richard L.
In an effort to systematically investigate requirements for TeraGrid XD, the XROADS collaboration held during 2009 a series of requirements elicitation meetings (REM) with small groups of stakeholders. This report summarizes the conduct of and results from a requirements elicitation meeting on the topics of campus bridging and campus cyberinfrastructure. The meeting’s goal was to develop a clearer and more functional definition of what the next phase of the TeraGrid should do to be a resource broadly useful to and used by university and college campuses throughout the US.
