SCS Bullet pointss for week ending 2013/11/15
Scientific Computing Systems has implemented DNS split zone views to improve SLAC's security by not exposing data for non-internet routable machines. This also conforms with best practice recommendations for DNS configuration.
James Williams and several members of Scientific Computing Services attended a meeting with Rosio Alvarez, Adam Stone, and Gary Jung from LBNL to compare scientific computing at both labs. The discussion, which included computing technologies, a comparison of services, and cost recovery models, will be valuable in formulating directions for scientific computing services at SLAC.
