Significant Extension of HPCF CPU Cluster taki Thank 10 faculty from 9 departments for 17 new CPU nodes!
Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students,

We are happy to share the news that HPCF is able to extend the CPU cluster in taki by 17 new nodes. DoIT has placed the purchase order last week.

We have to thank 10 faculty from 9 departments and research centers in all 3 colleges at UMBC for their community spirit and ability to help us all with this extension, namely:

CNMS:
Joe Bennett (Chemistry) 3 nodes,
Pengwang Zhai (Physics) 4 nodes,
Larrabee Strow (Physics) 1 node,
Matthias Gobbert (Mathematics and Statistics) 2 nodes
including one funded by Jerimy Polf (UMB School of Medicine),

COEIT:
Tyler Josephson (CBEE) 3 nodes,
Curtis Menyuk (CSEE) 1 node,
Chuck Eggleton (Mechanical Engineering) 1 node,

CAHSS:
Matt Baker (GES) 1 node,
Lee Boot (IRC and IS) 1 node.

To put this in perspective, this extends the current 44 CPU nodes from 2018 with two 18-core CPUs each by a significant percentage of 17 nodes from 2021 with two 24-core CPUs each. The 2018 nodes will continue to be valuable for large-memory jobs, since each node has 384 GB of memory, while the 2021 nodes will have 192 GB only, so they represent a different optimization of core count vs. memory size. The purchase made sense now, since the CPUs still share key architectural features with the 2018 nodes and thus enable simpler system administration.

As always, we take this opportunity to thank the Unix group, particularly Roy Prouty, Randy Phillip, and Tim Champ for their support and cooperation on our community-based High Performance Computing Facility.  We all could not do it without them, and in turn we as faculty had a good chance here to contribute with the financing of this purchase.

The thumbnail photo with this post shows me (Gobbert) with our excellent HPCF RAs Carlos Barajas and Reetam Majumder in front of the 2018 equipment that we are extending with this purchase.

And as always, please remember to send us information on all publications that use HPCF, also on students' theses when they graduate! The list of publications is our most important documentation of outcomes.

Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students,

This message starts with the usual reminder to send me references to publications that used HPCF and its cluster taki, so that we can post them as products of the NSF funding and the administration's support.  Students, if you are graduating, please send me the title of your thesis, since those are a particular example of the community support.

But my request goes farther this time: The Faculty Senate passed the Faculty Senate Open Access Resolution (https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=728911&p=5872742), and this supports providing free access to our work in an archive called MD-SOAR (https://mdsoar.org/) for open access to the public.

Michelle Flinchbaugh <flinchba@umbc.edu> from the AOK Library has copied over those publications from our HPCF publications page that had actual PDF files attached.

If you have preprints of your past work, whose reference we might already have on the HPCF publications page, please send them to me.  This would improve our publications page and immensely help the Library to expand the work in MD-SOAR, which in turn raises visibility for your work and for UMBC.

I find this a very worthwhile effort, with support from the Faculty Senate, and we can all help and profit from this visibility. You can also copy Michelle, of course, for questions or to send the PDFs. My offer to collect them at HPCF first just tries to help out.

I would much appreciate your help with this initiative. If you have the PDF files already on your own publication page, please just let me know.

Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students,

Thanks to many of you for sending information on publications, including journal and conference papers and also theses (senior/undergrad, Master's, PhD). Please, keep sending this information! The publications list is the most vital demonstration of success of HPCF both to the NSF and to the UMBC administration.

I am happy to share the new totals with you: The users generated over 400 publications, including 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals (including Nature, Science, and other top-tier journals in their fields), 50 refereed conference papers, and 50 theses. This count started in 2008, when HPCF was formally established. The detailed list is available on the HPCF webpage under Publications.

This is also currently reported to the NSF in the MRI Final Report for the three-year grant awarded in 2017. This final report also includes an Outcomes Report, which is also posted on the HPCF webpage under the Research tab. This same tab has list of projects using taki, a handout, poster, and presentation slides, and more. In particular, please use the Supporting Materials link for Acknowledgments text for publications.

This is also a chance for a special thanks to the HPCF RAs Reetam Majumder and Carlos Barajas! They support me and the user community and sys admin with many things, but also particularly with the publications and project lists and the NSF report.

Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students,

In 2017, a group of 51 UMBC researchers was successful in competing for an MRI (Major Research Infrastructure) grant from the NSF. Having this many faculty -- by my estimate one eighth of all UMBC research/teaching faculty! -- is a powerful signal of the importance of HPCF to the campus and well-appreciated by the NSF program directors. This was in fact the third successful MRI for HPCF, after 2008 and 2012, which in total provided over $1M in funding from the NSF to this campus initiative.

The support of $789,076 financed the extension and update of HPCF with the 2018 equipment, comprising 44 CPU nodes with two 18-core Intel Skylake CPUs and 384 GB of memory each, one node with four NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs connected by NVLink, and 8 Big Data nodes with 48 TB disks across 12 hard drives each. The total includes $236,723 cost-sharing funded by UMBC, and we acknowledge this excellent cooperation, in particular with DoIT.

The 3-year grant has formally ended, and an Outcomes Report provides a two-page highlighted summary of the achievements during the funding period. A PDF file of this report from 2020 is now posted on the HPCF webpage under the Research tab, adding to the corresponding report from 2015. I thank the colleagues Daniel Lobo, Curtis Menyuk, Jerimy Polf, Jianwu Wang, Meilin Yu, and Zhibo Zhang for providing the visuals and project information in the Outcomes Report. It represents a wonderful cross-section of the activity using taki.

Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students,

User support in collaboration with system administrators have developed visual representation of monthly usage levels of taki's CPU and GPU clusters. You can find this data at hpcf.umbc.edu under the Research tab, where it will be updated every month.

The raw data are in units of core-hours for the CPU cluster and GPU-hours for the GPU cluster, separated by architecture denoted by the year of acquisition. Stacked bar charts add up to the total available hours, while bar charts and line plots show the percentage of use on each architecture. Analysis by most active PI groups are shown in various styles including line graphs.

The visuals show that decommissioning the 2009 CPU nodes in October did not change the usage levels. They also show that usage levels saw a very precipitous drop after spring break 2020 and that research productivity has recovered fully since then. This goes along with continued increase in use of the 2018 hardware in the CPU cluster. The analysis of most active PI groups indicates shifts over time and brings out that most groups use either the CPU or the GPU cluster.

As regular reminder, please send me references to publications! We can also post other newsworthy stories here, so feel free to contact me.

This rack holds key equipment that provides data storage for a good number of servers in our infrastructure, including the the main campus website, the central UMBC sites web environment, Peoplesoft Campus Solutions and the Peoplesoft HR system. Power was restored within a minute, and we have been working to restore connectivity as the equipment comes back online.

Service to the main website and other public facing services was restored around 4:00pm. 

Service to the HR system was restored at 4:50pm, and we are finishing restoring service to the CS system which we expect to have operational by 5:30pm.

We will send another message when service has been fully restored later this afternoon. 

We appreciate everyone's patience as we work to restore connectivity, if you have any questions about this outage or would like more information, please feel free to email me at damian@umbc.edu

Thank you, and please stay tuned for additional information shortly.
