The Scaling and Validation Programme PoC David Groep vle-pfour-team VL-e Workshop 2005.04.05 NIKHEF SARA LogicaCMG IBM PoC ToC What is the Scaling and Validation Program? Activities in the SV programme Environments infrastructure Rapid Prototyping environment Certification test bed PoC: stable systems Need Help? Positioning of the PoC in VL-E Scaling Validation (SV) Aims Build environments for experimentation different scales, with a variety of resources stable quasi-production Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Support applications stable, but also extend (and improve) continuously deploy VL software and components from elsewhere Disseminate knowledge about them tutorials, events, helpdesk Learn ourselves from the deployment close the cycle, improve with developers and users SV needs applications for a realistic workload Three activity tracks Software engineering: a timeline Rapid Prototyping basic research evaluating innovative ideas ? Certification quality control and engineering process: Ronald S testing: Chris Schotanus ? PoC stable environment for application development common base for incremental development Deploying a national-scale infrastructure Dissemination and knowledge import Implementation the process Rapid Prototyping Environment Central services: DAS-2 distributed clusters VU, UvA, Leiden, TUDelft, Utrecht Specific services database servers (Oracle, Matisse) integrated in UvA DAS-2 cluster~1.3 TByte storage available. core VL services on dedicated nodes Local systems Your own workstations, test clusters c. Certification test bed Smallish setup to validate new releases core: ~10 node dual-CPU cluster some test disk space (as needed) extensible with many more systems Characteristics highly flexible but managed the same as the ‘real thing’ same network/typology constraints validate release n+1 of the PoC s/w suite P4CTB configuration via Quattor Managed software know exactly what is installed where central configuration control (via Quattor) h
