Hello all. I am just entering the HPC Sales Engineering role, and would like to focus my learning on the most relevant stuff. I have searched near and far for a current survey of some sort listing the top used “stacks”, but cannot seem to find one that is free. I was breaking things down similar to this:
OS disto: CentOS, Debian, TOSS, etc? I know some come trimmed down, and also include specific HPC libraries, like CNL, CNK, INK? MPI options: MPICH2, MVAPICH2, Open MPI, Intel MPI, ? Provisioning software: Cobbler, Warewulf, xCAT, Openstack, Platform HPC, ? Configuration management: Warewulf, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, ? Resource and job schedulers: I think these are basically the same thing? Torque, Lava, Maui, Moab, SLURM, Grid Engine, Son of Grid Engine, Univa, Platform LSF, etc… others? Shared filesystems: NFS, pNFS, Lustre, GPFS, PVFS2, GlusterFS, ? Library management: Lmod, ? Performance monitoring: Ganglia, Nagios, ? Cluster management toolkits: I believe these perform many of the functions above, all wrapped up in one tool? Rocks, Oscar, Scyld, Bright, ? Does anyone have any observations as to which of the above are the most common? Or is that too broad? I believe most the clusters I will be involved with will be in the 128 - 2000 core range, all on commodity hardware. Thank you! - Jeff
