| ITC-ResComp Tasks & Projects To Do: 03/29/99 |

|---|---|---|
| Project | Owner/Date | Comments |
| 1. Non-IBM Research Computing Engines (both Sun and SGI) | Hamp/Tim T. | Orange cluster and SGI cluster (Unix
lab) names will be orange#.unixlab and teal#.unixlab
respectively. Any one can get a blue.unix via normal accounts webpage. Anyone needing SGI, Sun for visualization work or the SP for long running jobs Undergrads need faculty sponsor. Separate account request webpage, similiar to CorpTime. Have SP/Unixlab be a subset of blue.unix so 1 userid/password. No umenu, no e-mail, no web server. Run GCG(visual piece)need interactive use greater than allowed with SP. Software on only one platform, e.g., ANSYS on AIX versus take to Solaris. Move Khoros to Solaris? Other savings or costs? |
| 2. ADSM/HSM (archive) (hardware and software). | Hamp
Tim T. |
IBM removed ADSM from Consortium software; waffling about cost.
won't be off-list until 10/2000.
Transfer will be user by user. Target date: Spring, 1999 Hamp has started moving ITC & "public" data into HSM. Coordinate archive (ADSM) group. Contact each user and say we will move you-can't use archive during transfer. |
| 3. "Research News" | Tim T. | ResComp group writing for a spring "edition" |
| 4. Software Installations and Updates | . | . |
| 5. NPACI (National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure) and SUR Grant | Tim S. Tom |
Legion still has a "few" bugs. |
| 6. SP | Tom Ed Tim S. |
Will get back on checkpoint issue. Ed studied class usage and announcing new submit classes; upgrade of nodes to 160 Mhz processors; 8 nodes dedicated to parallel jobs. http://jm.acs.Virginia.EDU/research/docs/SP_new.html 2 new switches and adapters for all nodes on order. Will require system downtime when installed by IBM |
| 7. ITC Research Advisory Committees | Tim S., Tom S.,
Tim T. |
UCIT sub-committee re-drafting proposal for research computing to
take into account ACAC sub-comm. comments.
ACAC has res. computing subcommittee headed by Steve Stern. Discussing long & short term solutions. |
| 8. Department Outreach | Tim T. | From ACAC res. computing subcommittee: need to try again-figure out better way to reach faculty - faculty meetings? Surveys? |
| 9. Y2K Issues | Jim | We have Y2K plan for unix - it's under control. UVA Year 2000 Task Force Jeff Sponaugle chairing research issues |
