Agenda:

  • Previous meeting
  • Status:
    • Using ESnet FPGA f/w build 28 April
      • Specs
      • Jumbo Frames
      • arp, ping, ICMP filtering
      • Port entropy
    • Script based LB Control Plane
    • Support C libraries for LB Host Control Plane - in unit test code review legal review
    • ESnet smartnic open-source GitHub repo - in legal review
    • ESnet private, forkable Jlab P4 and simulations GitHub repo - in legal review
    • ERSAP feed end bottleneck needs investigation; Timmer's blaster may provide relief
    • New machines (6) rec'd, installed w/ Ubuntu 20.04 on EJFAT subnet (VLAN 937 172.19.22.0/24)
    • 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
      • PR408549 (6) 100Gbs NICs - ETA 1 July
      • PR408870 PR408938 (2) 100Gbs Arista switches, transceivers, cables, etc - ETA 1 July 5 October
  • Next Steps:
    • EJFAT VLAN Checkout
    • Network Performance:
      • FPGA LB Throughput - max sustained 90Gbs
      • Host NICs
      • Host S/W Reassembly - better algorithms, buffering, asynchronicity, etc.
      • EJFAT UDP Transmission Performance
      • Need better parameters for event reassembly/reconstruction
    • Control Plane
      • Will interact with SLURM / Kubernetes
      • Python based (?)
      • Control Plane daemon for compute host (?)
      • Demonstrate CP based flexibility/elasticity
    • Look at iperf2 for network testing
    • Look at ROCE / NIC
    • DPDK - ESnet reports can stream 100 Gbps using DPDK.
    • SLURM env for EJFAT VLAN (Hess)
