2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. Progress Summary
CSCS
- Preparing the move to the new Lugano building, which is almost ready. New hardware has been ordered and it is expected to move there by mid-april.
2.2. Main Achievements
CSCS
- Move of most of production systems to KVM on SSD disks. This has notably increased the performance and reliability of the Grid related VMs.
- Installation of the new Interlagos CPU in 10 WNs, this increased to 32 the number of job slots per machine.
- Deployment of GPFS on previous Lustre hardware. This has notably increased the performance and stability of the scratch filesystem. GPFS seems to be way more performant than Luster for our current setup. Also, metadata is now exclusively on SSDs.
- Re-cabled part of the cluster switches and networks to prepare for the move.
