Tutorial Question EX2


Describe an organization that you know well. Identify message functions and the structure of that organization.
-To be honest, I do not know any organizations that I am aware off but here are some interesting facts that how an organization structured and function.

  • Maximize Job Throughput and Meeting Organizational Priorities
1) Improve the speed and accuracy of the scheduling decisions and allocation automation to optimize job throughput so more work is accomplished in less time with your existing resources. This controls costs and increases the value your organization receives from its HPC investments. Moab® HPC Suite – Basic Edition provides a patented multi-dimensional intelligence engine that accelerates both the complex decisions and orchestration of workload across the ideal combination of diverse resources. But with many users, groups and projects sharing valuable HPC resources, the relative priorities of the jobs and their results as well as service levels and resource sharing agreements are also critical factors to be considered in scheduling workload. These priorities must be balanced with the speed of processing all and as many jobs as quickly as possible. The Moab decision engine is able to factor in these organizational priorities and complexities when scheduling workload and allocating resources. Moab ensures workload is processed according to service levels, results delivery commitments, fair resource usage across users, groups and even multiple organizations. This enables the automatic enforcement of service guarantees and effective management of organizational complexities with simple policy-based settings.
  • Optimized Resource Utilization
2)  Optimize the work and value you get out of existing expensive HPC resources to control the costs and need to invest in additional resources to meet current workload demand. Moab HPC Suite – Basic Edition optimizes resource utilization by 10-30% to 90-99% on a consistent basis with multi-dimensional policies such as allocation, backfill, and affinity. These policies ensure the optimal resources are used for each job and that resources are optimally utilized and continuously processing jobs, including scheduling specialized resources like GPGPUs for the right jobs. The combination of real-time and unique predictive future scheduling capabilities in Moab enables the future workload schedule to be continually forecasted and adjusted along with resource allocations. This allows the system to adapt to changes in conditions and new job and reservation requests to keep resources utilized at maximum levels while meeting current and known future advance and maintenance reservations. 

  • Extreme-Scale, High Throughput Computing
3)  High job throughput especially benefits customers with large quantities of data sets, variables and the need to run high volumes of simulations quickly for development and design efforts such as life sciences, engineering and manufacturing organizations as well as extreme-scale HPC environments. Moab HPC Suite – Basic Edition and Enterprise Edition support the hundreds of thousands of queued job submissions demanded for high throughput computing with fast and efficient scheduling and throughput of jobs, and sub-second user command responsiveness.  

  • Workload-Optimized Provisioning Solution
4)  Designed for high performance computing facilities that need to adapt their systems' operating environments as user and workload demands fluctuate over time, Moab HPC Suite - Enterprise Edition can re-provision a node's characteristics on the fly to optimize the mix of infrastructure environments available to meet user workload requirements. Whether implemented in a traditional HPC facility or as the foundation for a HPC cloud, Moab HPC Suite - Enterprise Edition provides the flexibility to satisfy your user community while optimizing the throughput of your HPC infrastructure and reducing the complexity of managing workload across siloed OS clusters. 

  • Energy and Cost Efficient “Green” HPC Solution
5) The wide array of monitoring, reporting, managing, and scheduling capabilities at work in Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition will enable your computing center to achieve significant reductions of 30-40% in energy use. Moab will enable your organization to effectively reduce its energy-consumption costs as it optimizes IT performance and service levels. It monitors and reports on system energy use then reduces that energy use through intelligent and workload aware power-management, workload-consolidation, and power-aware workload placement policies.
