- David:
- Parts of former (Run 1) compute infrastructure used for opportunistic GRID.
- RORC(ALICE) vs. FELIX(ATLAS, sPHENIX)
- RORC: 12 optical links, 3 QSFPs FELIX: 48 optical links, 2 MTPs
- RORC: 79.2 Gbps (12x6.6Gpbs/channel) FELIX: up to 100Gbps
- Cluster management/OS:
- Booting, OS installation: Foreman + PXE-boot
- OS: CERN CentOS 7
- Package installation/configuration: Puppet
- Node health and metrics: Zabbix
- "...the complete cluster can be rebuilt, including the final configuration, in roughly three hours"
- "The old approach, using POSIX pipes, began to cause a significant CPU load through many system calls and was consequently replaced by a shared-memory based communication."
