Managing Expectations and Understanding Needs for Campus Level Shared Research Computing Jan Odegard, Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology, Rice Lee Panetta, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, TAMU

Escalating Concerns Administration & faculty recognize that “having” is a competitive advantage, but nature and needs of computational science not always recognized at highest levels at our institutions (not even a familiar domain for most CIOs / VPs for IT / …) Campus Information Technology Divisions are struggling with what to do or how to support research computing Where does campus IT leadership get advice? Trend challenges traditional mission of campus IT organizations Supporting research computing (staff and infrastructure) is a bottomless pit Where and how to draw the line and how to expense cost? Escalating demand on data centers (power/cooling cost) How do we support and best leverage national resources?

Regional/National Discussions EDUCAUSE Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CCI) Working Group TeraGrid Future (http://www.teragridfuture.org) An Alternative Approach to NSF Funding of HPC http://www.hpcwire.com/hpc/2059714.html LEARN Technology Advisory Group (TAG) Research Advisory Group (RAG) CASC 50+ academic research institutions discussion CASC is dedicated to advocating the use of the most advanced computing technology to accelerate scientific discovery for national competitiveness, global security, and economic success, as well as develop a diverse and well prepared 21st century workforce What is the role of campus level research computing? Should this be the responsibility of the campus IT organization? Recall NSF used to fund mainframes and networking

Understanding Users and their Needs Understanding a diverse workload is both time consuming and difficult but necessary Allocation issues “Users have unbounded needs, centers have bounded budgets” funded vs unfunded, judgment of relative scientific value in general large scale tightly coupled versus large volume loosely coupled (clouds) Tradeoffs: “response time” vs. “efficient” use of machines “sophisticated” computational projects vs less sophisticated but valuable science/engineering Users often lack understanding of total cost of ownership competing needs generated by supporting diverse work loads (wall time versus wait time) Users tend to advocate the path of least resistance Does scarcity encourage innovation and more attention to code efficiency? Cluster huggers

HiPCAT Community Opportunity Each institution are working hard to support their respective faculty and researchers Each institution have unique needs and goals Each have lessons learned and best practices It would be beneficial to all to share these lessons and learn from each other even if it does not mean sharing resources HiPCAT is the perfect community for these discussions Topics for discussion: Users profiling and support Tools and support Policies and support Management …
