Building a Hive for Queen Bee Randall Walker, Division of Administration

One Piece of Bigger Picture Fellow speakers will discuss some of the applications and benefits of the LONI supercomputers Preparations for Queen Bee just one part

.edu &.gov interface Working together to benefit Louisiana and its citizens Queen Bee is a recent example BOR / LONI initiative with support of CIO

Challenges Space Funding Technology Time Logistics Electrical Cooling

Physical Space Existing print room was best location Two large printers and associated equipment Multiple departments with server racks installed already 300-pound floor tiles not sufficient for all of proposed equipment

Funding Infrastructure costs not projected Change to existing contract required funding commitment Change orders require Legislative approval Regents and DOA split cost of 1 st change order Six change orders to date

Technology Queen Bee is a Red Hat Linux cluster 680 Dell 1950 dual quad-core 2.33 GHz processors 50.7 Teraflops (50,700 billion operations per second) 240 terabytes storage

Time Constraints Top 500 supercomputers announced twice a year Next announcement was June 2007 Deadline for submission of benchmark was May 15th

Logistics - Packaging

Logistics - Receiving

Logistics - Storing

Logistics - Assembly “Some assembly required” Find the instructions Find all the pieces Insert all the pieces Verify all the pieces Repeat 679 times

Logistics - Disposal

Electrical – 600KW UPS

Electrical - Generator

Cooling

First External 90 ton chiller

Queen Bee Hero Award  Chuck Denstorff  Russ Gordon  David Lemoine  James Morrison  Danny Nesbit Without them, the Queen Bee project would have not been successful.

Queen Bee Today

Ongoing Activities Definition of roles for monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure Fiber connection from ISB to LONI optical network Installation of 3rd generator to provide N+1 redundancy to both LONI and ISB

Our long-term commitment Our goal is to provide a home for Queen Bee where she can be happy and productive for years to come

Questions & Answers We will entertain questions about Queen Bee after the last speaker has concluded their remarks.
