Short-term
- Get baseline configuration running on production infrastructure
- Deploy on test sites (LAL, TCD, LIP, ...)
- SGE (Imperial?)
- LSF (?)
- Get feedback from users
List of RPMs -- add to ETICS which will make it available automatically. ACTION: Cal
- i2g-mpi-start
- ...
Recommend to SA3 for integration end of Jan 07
- Write up on GOC wiki
- Recipe/hacks for sites (CEs) (with pointers to YAIM and Quattor impls.)
Page describing configuration and user environment (ACTION: Stephen)
- User software
- Document on UIG site and replace MPI section in UG with link to this
- Deploy on test sites (LAL, TCD, LIP, ...)
Recommend change to RB to allow Normal jobs with >1 CPU (LCG and gLite)
- MPICH job type to be retained for compatibility but deprecated
Look into compatibility of NodeNumber with other job types (e.g. checkpointable, interactive)
Next meeting
- EGEE User Forum May 9-11, 2007 ?
Future work
- Allocation of CPUs and nodes (e.g. to ensure processes scheduled on the same node)
- Changes to GLUE schema
- e.g. SWRTE per queue
- Investigate whether having a jobtype on the RB with some MPI setup actually improves the user experience
- i.e. pre- and post-scripts would be all that the user has to write -- in gLite WMS?
- Inter-site MPI -- EGEE to monitor I2G work -- may be installed on some EGEE sites even if not in production release
- Investigate advertising and selecting compilers/libraries
- Shared area that isn't a shared home
