Scientific Computing Services implemented Nagios monitoring and alerting for AFS quotas. This is currently being used by Fermi and MCC, but is available for any interested group. This service enables customers to be informed about their AFS quota before it reaches its maximum limit, thereby providing time to take corrective action and minimize the potential for quota-related computing problems.
Scientific Computing Services is working with IBM to give a presentation on the new features of LSF 9.1 to scientific computing customers. Along with the presentation, SCS staff will provide an overview of our use of MPI applications in our cluster environment. This interaction will improve understanding between IBM and SLAC regarding the use of LSF and clarify features that would be valuable in this software product.
