Global Compute Farm: Enhancing Resource Sharing Across Clusters

Platform Computing offers LSF MultiCluster solution for global scheduling and resource sharing infrastructure in a compute farm environment. With separate cluster management and policies, the system ensures autonomy and reliability for multiple organizations and sites. Enhance cooperation, secure job submission, and user authentication are key features for customers like ENEA, CERN, and SLAC. Join the global computing initiative for improved collaboration.

  6. Provides resource sharing: Separately managed sites Multiple departments/divisions in a large corporation Computing centre supporting many sites Multiple cooperating organisations Loosely connected sites Over long distance or slow links Across WAN with time differences While maintaining: Autonomy Each cluster has its own LSF administrators Each cluster sets its own policies Administrators of different clusters negotiate in setting up inter-cluster resource sharing policies Reliability The availability of one cluster does not affect another Communication failures between clusters does not cause job loss LSF MultiCluster
