- See the storage chart for more details on disks & partitions in the new cluster, and how that compares to the old Matrix.
- All research applications are installed under “/software”.
- See section above, "How is the new Fall 2014 Matrix different than the old Matrix?", for details.
- Get info on the nodes on the new Matrix which are available during testing.
- See chart with full details:
- Summary info, true during Phase Two testing:
- Initially about 18 nodes will be made available to all researchers.
- This represents the newly purchased nodes and two of each of 5 types of old node.
- There are 8 new compute nodes (m108-m115) accessible. Each new node has 20 cores available.
- For testing, select old Matrix nodes will be moved to the new Matrix to ensure adequate computing capacity during testing.
- During testing, GPU's are not available in the new cluster.
- However, 2 of their nodes will be running as just CPU nodes.
- Initially about 18 nodes will be made available to all researchers.
- See chart with full details:
- Queuing information
- No Express queue available for testing.
- An Express queue will be provisioned when new Matrix is in production.
- The default queue is dque instead of express as no node has been assigned to be available for Express queue.
- No Express queue available for testing.
Important notes in WHAT DATA WILL BE ERASED AFTER TESTING. And what data is saved after testing.
ChemIT will save all end-user's home directories as they build them up on the new Matrix.
- This is to preserve all researcher's investments in getting their research files to work on the new Matrix.
ChemIT will erase all end-user's storage directories on the new Matrix, at end of testing.
- On the day we cut-over from the old Matrix to the new Matrix, ChemIT will make a final copy of each user's old Matrix home directory into their new Matrix storage directory.
