DECI 9 Project DifVib - Initial Meeting Michaela Barth - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

DECI 9 Project DifVib - Initial Meeting Michaela Barth (caela@kth.se)

DECI workflow * Experts from home site and exec site will be assigned to each accepted DECI projects. * Home sites will need to arrange the initial meeting (visit/telcon) with the PIs of the accepted DECI projects and explain all the necessary information. * Home sites should report the outcome/progress after the initial meeting with PIs, * Exec sites will inform the DECI users when their assigned systems are available for their usage (after accounts are setup by WP6) * Exec sites should help users to install the software required which are not available on the assigned systems. * Enabling sites should start the enabling assistance as soon as possible and enabling experts should work in the close collaboration with DECI users. 2

Initial Meeting • X.509 Certificate (e.g. Terena e-Science) • TTS: the PRACE support system of users (TTS) • Available User Documentation • Accesing the exec site and PRACE Common Production Environment (PCPE) • Accessing CPU accounting information via DART • Final report and data collection • Enabling help

X.509 Certificate You need a valid certificate that you can use within PRACE: http://www.prace-ri.eu/Certificates-FAQ Currently the easiest way to get such a certificate is to go to https://tcs-escience-portal.terena.org/ and request a Terena e-Science certificate. If your university is connected and your personal identification flag in the universities database is set, you'll get one immediately. Otherwise: any standard X.509 certificate of a CA in the IGTF will do. Please send the DN of the certificate to me afterwards so I can enter this information in our LDAP tree.

Ticket Trouble Shooting • Primary user interface via web-interface: https://tts.prace-ri.eu/index.html Secondary interface via email: support@prace-ri.eu • Users should submit their queries to the PRACE TTS directly (rather than send to a given person).

Available user documentation • PRACE Best Practice Guide: http://www.prace-ri.eu/Best-Practice-Guides • PRACE User Documentation: http://www.prace-ri.eu/User-Documentation • Training Portal http://www.training.prace-ri.eu/

PRACE web site • The PRACE web presence with news, events, RSS feeds etc. http://www.prace-ri.eu • Public deliverables • Training material • Special presentations • http://www.prace-project.eu • http://www.prace-project.eu/documents • http://www.prace-project.eu/hpc-training • http://www.prace-project.eu/hpc-training/prace-code-porting-videos The PRACE website, www.prace-project.eu 7

CPU accounting information: DART • DART http://www.prace-ri.eu/Accounting-Report-Tool • DART documentation still on DEISA site: http://www.deisa.eu/usersupport/user-documentation/deisa-accounting-report-tool • (Not all centers automized yet: data added by hand once a month.)

End of Project and Final Report • The final reports are expected to be submitted within 3 months after the project completion. – Independent from eventual extensions!! – Template will be provided. (2-4 pages) • Data should be collected within 3 months after the project completion.

Enabling help • T7.2-2IP (DECI application support) can provide to help with enabling/optimising their applicaitons. – help DECI users to get access to their assigned Tier-1 systems – Providing assistances with porting code to the systems. • Applications enabling for the accepeted DECI projects which require more than 1 month enabling work in their applicaiton forms. – The enabling work is usually 1-6 months which involves performance optimisation, scalability enabling, and other parallelisation related technical work. • Support if there is any request from DECI projects, as informed by WP2. (WP2 is responsible for the DECI projects progress tracking.)
