- 100 Gbs i/f are: ejfat-1-daq, ejfat-2-daq, ejfat-3-daq, ejfat-3-daq, ejfat-5-daq, ejfat-6-daq, ejfat-fs-daq
- LBs: 172.19.22.241-247
- indra-s2 upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 LB sucessfully installed, being repositioned for EJFAT VLAN via Indra-Lab switch
- Spare EJFAT equip loaners:
- (4) DAQ dev machines indra-s[1-3] 129.57.29/109.23[0-2]
- alkaid: 24 Xeon Gold 3.4 GHz cores, 100Gbs
- indra-s1: 24 Xeon Gold 3.0 GHz cores, 100Gbs
- indra-s2: 32 Xeon Gold 3.2 GHz cores, 100Gbs
- indra-s3: 32 Xeon Gold 2.3 GHz cores, 100Gbs, 750GB ram disk
- (4) DAQ Farm machines dafarm6[1-4] currently on 129.57.29.17[1-4] - each 32 Xeon 2.0Ghz cores - 1 Gbs NIC + (4) 10Gbs Spare NICs
- (4) Unbuilt DAQ Farm machines - each 32 Xeon 2.0Ghz cores - 1 Gbs NIC + (4) 10Gbs Spare NICs
- (4) DAQ dev machines indra-s[1-3] 129.57.29/109.23[0-2]
PR408549 (7) 100Gbs NICs- Installed in Compute Center / EJFAT / EJFAT VLAN- PR408870 PR408938 (2) 100Gbs Arista switches,
transceivers, cables, etc - ETA1 July5 October - FPGA LB Throughput - max sustained 90Gbs with s/w data generation
- Using ESnet FPGA f/w build 28 April
- Next Steps:
- FireHose Benchmark
- Network Performance:
- cpusets
- Pktgen-DPDK
- Receive Side Scaling
- Packet Loss Studies / LB Round Robin Studies - migrating to Compute Center / EJFAT / EJFAT VLAN
- DAQ/VTP Data Generation Test Harness - 40 Gbs initially - after FEG ???
- Host NICs
- Host S/W Reassembly - better algorithms, buffering, asynchronicity, etc.
- EJFAT UDP Transmission Performance
- Need better parameters for event reassembly/reconstruction
- DPDK will own NIC bypassing kernel, etc. - ESnet reports can stream 100 Gbps using DPDK; Pktgen-DPDK
- Look at ROCE / NIC
- SPDK for hyper storage performance
- ESnet UDP tuning
- Control Plane
- Will interact with SLURM / Kubernetes
- Python based (?)
- Control Plane daemon for compute host (?)
- Demonstrate CP based flexibility/elasticity
- SLURM env for EJFAT VLAN (Hess)
- Vivado Licesnses for new machines - AI/ML ? D. Lawrence POC
- Open Nic Shell
- ACAT 2022 - October 24 / Italy - accepted for Oral Presentation
- RT2022 Oral Presentation on August 5
- RT 2022 Paper - submitted August 22 - up to 8 mos. review process
- Back Burner / Downstream:
- Hall-B FT calorimeter and hodoscope streaming readout test
- May be able to use Abbott's indra-s1 setup
- May be able to use new VTP f/w with Hall-B VTP's
- CODA 3.10 + ERSAP for new VTP f/w
- CODA 2.0 (non-streaming) for old VTP f/w
- Diagram
- Hall-B to start taking data June 8
- Hall B VTPs on .167. subnet
- HOSS
- parallelize writing of raw data files
- distribute raw data across multiple compute nodes for calibration skims
- 1 Gbs at hi-luminosity
- Hall-D comms with DAQ 109 subnet require network customization; (EJFAT subnet)
- Hall-D EJFAT use case
- Hall-D EJFAT Network Diagram
- IPV6 testing
- Hall-B FT calorimeter and hodoscope streaming readout test
- AOT
Notes:
- numa tools on ubuntu:
- sudo apt install hwloc-nox
- sudo apt install numactl
- lstopo
- numactl --hardware
- To control the scheduling class, you can use the chrt command.
- To pin to CPUs, use the taskset command. Or use the underlying syscalls.
- kernel dameon threads
- handle NIC driver interrupts
- set scheduling class to SCHED_FIFO / SCHED_RR of reassembly process
- want to set cpu socket of reassembly in common NUMA domain as NIC
