  1. PC clusters in KEK A.Manabe KEK(Japan)

  2. PC clusters in KEK • Belle (in KEKB) PC clusters • Neutron Shielding Simulation cluster • Some other activity on PC cluster LSCC WS '01

  3. Belle PC cluster • Utilized for experimental data production. ‘raw data’ to ‘reconstructed data’. • >400 CPUs by 3 clusters • Cooperation with SUN servers for I/O (B computer system) • Number of Users is rather small. (<5) • Major PCs are 4 CPU SMP machines.Homemade SW ‘basf’ for SMP processing.(old system was by 28cpu SMP servers) LSCC WS '01

  4. Belle PC cluster (1) • since 1999 • CPU nodes - DELL PowerEdge 6300(4CPU@Pentium IIIXeon 500MHz+9Gdisk) x 36 • Disk nodes(2CPU+800GB (Arena) RAID DISK) x 8 • Switch100BaseT Switch 1000BaseSX: uplink to B computer system • Installed by physicists, Rack is homemade LSCC WS '01

  5. Belle PC cluster1,2 Cluster 2 Cluster 1 LSCC WS '01

  6. Belle PC cluster (2) • since 2000 winter • CPU nodes - Compaq Proliant DL360(2CPU x Pentium III 800-900MHz+9Gdisk)x40 • Disk nodes(2CPU + 1.2TB RAID disk)x4 • Installed by Compaq (HW and SW)(~1week for all installation) LSCC WS '01

  7. Belle PC cluster(3) • since 2001 March • CPU nodes - Compaq ProLiant D580(4CPU@Pentium III Xeon700MHz+50GBdisk)x60 • Switch100BaseT to each nodes1000BaseSX to B computer system • 5 years lease • included in the B computer budget. • Installation service; initial and a few/year. LSCC WS '01

  8. Belle PC cluster3 LSCC WS '01

  9. Tape Library 1. TCP data transfer SW copy a RAW data file in tape to files in Disk server. (9MB/s) 2. Production jobs running in PC nodes reading/writing from/to the file using NFS. 3. write back Reconstructed data files to a tape or HSM system. 3. SUN WS 1. SW 2. PC nodes PC Disk Server LSCC WS '01

  10. Some numbers • 1 event processing takes about 6 sec by 1GHz Pentium III • 1 job =1 exp. run ~16GB = 32files 10~20 hours by 4CPU(1PC node) • Job submission is done manually with help of Perl scripts and a DB managing exp. run information. LSCC WS '01

  11. Belle PC cluster summary • Belle PC cluster • 464 CPU (500-933MHz), 256MB memory/CPU • ~14TB disk (RAID ~10TB,local~4TB) • 100BaseT network • B computer system(data server and general users) • ~40 SUN servers (each has a DTF2 tape drive) • Tape Library 500TB (Sony DTF2) • ~20 NFS/HSM* Disk (~10TB RAID) servers HSM=Hierarchical Storage Management System

  12. Simulation farm for the HIPAF beam line design. • High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility50GeV 15microA • Simulation for Neutron beam line design and neutron radiation shielding. • ~50 x (2 CPU@1GHz Pentium III) • NMTC, MCNP on MPI • Will be Installed in this year LSCC WS '01

  13. Other Activity • PC farm I/O R&D by the comp. center • HPSS (Linux HPSS client API driver by IBM) • Storage Area Network (with Fujitsu) • GRID Activity for ATLAS Regional Center in Japan. • Gfarm (http://datafarm.apgrid.org/index.en.html) LSCC WS '01
