HPC Services staff Jackie Scoggins and Michael Jennings gave a well-attended presentation on Node Health Check (NHC) software today at the Adaptive Computing booth at SC12. NHC, an open source project developed by Jennings, works in conjunction with Adaptive Computing's Moab job scheduler and their open source Torque resource manager to check the health of compute nodes in order to ensure clean job runs on large production HPC systems.
The Berkeley Lab Warewulf Cluster Toolkit development team has been honored with the 'Explorer Award' from the Intel(R) Cluster Ready team at Intel, which recognizes organizations who have continued to explore and implement Intel Cluster Ready (ICR) certified systems. The award was presented to Warewulf developers Greg Kurtzer, Michael Jennings, and Bernard Li of the IT Division's HPC Services Group yesterday at the annual Intel Partners Appreciation breakfast held at Supercomputing 2012. The award was given as a result of the joint activities between the Berkeley Lab and Intel to certify and promote Warewulf 3 as an open source, zero-cost Intel(R) Cluster Ready solution for provisioning and managing large HPC cluster installations.
