SNE Resource Scheduling and Usage Tracking for 2007

The purpose of this page is to track the scheduling and usage of the resources from the SNE group, notably the Van Gogh and Rembrandt clusters and associated network resources.

Scheduling period

The time period we are covering in this page is from January 1 2007 to the end of the year.

Resources

There are two clusters that can be reserved:

• Vangogh cluster (more information∞)
• Rembrandt cluster (more information∞)

Network equipment

There are two network switches, with the following 10GE ports:

• Force10 E600, with 4 LANPHY and 2 WANPHY interfaces
• Nortel ERS8600R, with 9 LANPHY interfaces and 6 UNIPHY interfaces

To interconnect everything there are also two OXC's:

• Calient, with in total 128 ports
• Glimmerglass, with in total 64 ports

There is however only a limited amount of ports available, apart from contention for fibers connecting our dislocated labs.

<!--
The available ports for host connections are as of Feb.1 2007:

• Force10: 1 WANPHY interface
• Passport8010: 5 LANPHY interfaces and 1 UNIPHY interface

-->

Other network connections

• IRNC link∞
  This is a 10 Gbps connection between the Nortel ERS8600R (interface 8/3) and the Force10 located at the StarLight faciity∞ in Chicago.

Conditions

Please note that usage of our resources is bound to conditions you must agree with:

• the resources are provided as is. We try best effort to help out with special demands but we can not give any guarantee.
• we set priorities to requests. This means that higher priority requests ultimately can pre-emt a lower priority request when reasonable scheduling fails.
• we require to be recognized in publications and press releases based on work where our resources were used.
• we give no guarantee whatsoever on software, data, installations, user accounts, etc. left on our systems. So please copy results to your own environment when possible. For example it is entirely thinkable that a next user reformats the 20 TeraByte disk array.

Read the above and then if you agree send your request to: jpv<at>science.uva.nl or jblom<at>science.uva.nl
Lightpath requests need to be send to: netmaster-optical<at>surfnet.nl
