SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 2010 - THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2010 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE CS06: DiaGrid: Multi-Campus Supercomputing from Unused Cycles Jason Stowe, Founder and CEO, Cycle Computing
John Campbell, Associate Vice President of Information Technology, Purdue University Wednesday, March 10th at 9:15am At Purdue, the demand for computational power needed for research rapidly outpaced the budget for new servers and the space to run them. At the same time, most machines across campus were used less than half of the time. The challenge was to harness these unused computational cycles for multiple colleges while building a framework that maintained scalability and ease of use. Purdue collaborated with Cycle Computing to build DiaGrid, a grid of idle campus computers/servers to provide computational capacity to researchers. DiaGrid’s motto became “No Cycle Left Behind.” By partnering with other campuses across Indiana, Purdue increased its total capacity to more than 177 teraflops, which is equal to a $3 million supercomputer requiring several thousand square feet of data center space. Today, with 28,000 processors, DiaGrid offers two million computing hours per month. Also, the research clusters within DiaGrid average about one percent to two percent at idle, providing one of the highest utilization levels ever. This session will discuss the journey that brought Purdue and Cycle Computing together to form DiaGrid. |

HPC on the Cloud at Oil & Gas HPC Workshop |
|
THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010 HOUSTON, TEXAS WHAT: Jason Stowe, CEO of Cycle Computing, and David Powers, senior systems engineer in research and development IT at Eli Lilly and Company, will be speaking about Eli Lilly’s use of cloud computing for HPC at the Oil & Gas HPC Workshop at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
WHY: Stowe and Powers will discuss the business drivers inside and outside Eli Lilly that lead the company to utilize cloud computing as an option for HPC. The presentation will include details of how to migrate various applications, including those with pipeline stages and dependencies for execution. Specifically, Stowe and Powers will outline the migration of a proteomics workflow, along with benchmark data on various instances, bandwidth and I/O speeds. WHEN: “Large, Dynamic, and Pay as you Go: HPC on the Cloud” Thursday, March 4, 2010 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. CST WHERE: Oil & Gas HPC Workshop Duncan Hall, Rice University, Houston, Texas CONTACT: To schedule a briefing with Jason Stowe at the event, contact Ashleigh Egan at 212.255.0080, ext. 12, or
