Use Case CB-13: Provide a simple interface to access any of the high-throughput computing queues available to a campus
Area: Community BuildingURLs: Public, Review
Executive Summary: A campus IT administrator needs to provide a simple interface that allows campus researchers to submit tasks to any of the high-throughput computing (HTC) resources available to their campus.
First CDP: 2019-01-15
Current CDP: 2019-01-15
- XCI-539: Present campus queue idea to campus champions and gauge response
- XCI-540: Package campus queue distribution
In addition to the two JIRA activities listed here, the XCRI team would need to do the following things for each campus that elects to use the campus queue distribution.
- Roughly twenty hours (2.5 person-days) per campus of XCRI staff effort for configuration and integration with local authentication, storage and other local infrastructures. This per-campus effort will diminish over time as we integrate the campus queue with more common infrastructure components.
XSEDE does not currently offer this capability. The current proposal is to present the idea to XSEDE campus champions and gauge their reactions to judge whether further effort is worthwhile. (This would be less than one day of effort for the XCRI team.) Assuming the reaction is favorable, we could proceed with the 2 person-week packaging task (see JIRA link) and begin deployments on campuses.
