SUMMARY:HPC Systems Professionals Workshop (HPCSYSPROS18)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nHPC Center Planning and Operations, State of the Pra
 ctice, System Administration, Workshop Reg Pass\n\nNext-Generation Cluster
  Management Software\n\nPeltz Jr, Wofford\n\nOver the last six decades, Lo
 s Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has acquired, accepted, and integrated
  over 100 new HPC systems, from MANIAC in 1952 to Trinity in 2017. These s
 ystems range from small clusters to large supercomputers. The high perform
 ance computing (HPC) system architecture has prog...\n\n------------------
 ---\nCompliant Cloud+Campus Hybrid HPC Infrastructure\n\nVander Werf, Juds
 on, Brenner\n\nWe present a hybrid cloud+campus model for deploying secure
  research cyberinfrastructure in line with a growing number of federally f
 unded scientific research security requirements. While the security mechan
 isms are inline with many regulations, we specifically focus on the NIST 8
 00-171 CUI complian...\n\n---------------------\nRapid Deployment of Bare-
 Metal and In-Container HPC Clusters Using OpenHPC playbooks\n\nHiggins, Al
 -Jody, Holmes\n\nIn this paper, we present a toolbox of reusable Ansible r
 oles and playbooks in order to configure a cluster software environment de
 scribed by the freely available OpenHPC recipes. They can be composed
  in order to deploy a robust and reliable cluster environment, instilled w
 ith the best practice...\n\n---------------------\nStudying Effects of Mel
 tdown and Spectre Patches on the Performance of HPC Applications Using App
 lication Kernel Module of XDMoD\n\nSimakov, Innus, Jones, Katz, White...\n
 \nIn this work we examine how the updates addressing Meltdown and Spectre 
 vulnerabilities impact the performance of HPC applications. To study this 
 we use the application kernel module of XDMoD to test the performance befo
 re and after the application of the vulnerability patches. The application
  kerne...\n\n---------------------\ncgroups py : Using Linux Control Group
 s and Systemd to Manage CPU Time and Memory\n\nMaves\n\nCgroups provide a 
 mechanism to limit user andprocess resource consumption on Linux systems. 
 This paper discusses cgroups_py, a Python script that runs as a systemd se
 rvice that dynamically throttles users on shared resource systems, such as
  HPC cluster front-ends. This is done using the cgroups kern...\n\n-------
 --------------\nMaking Container Easier with HPC Container Maker\n\nMcMill
 an\n\nContainers make it possible for scientists and engineers to easily u
 se portable and reproducible software environments. However, if the desire
 d application is not already available from a container registry, generati
 ng a custom container image from scratch can be challenging for users accu
 stomed to ...\n\n---------------------\nStateless Provisioning: Modern Pra
 ctice in HPC\n\nBlaas, Roberts\n\nWe outline a model for creating a contin
 uous integration and continuous delivery work flow targeted at provisionin
 g CPIO based initramfs images that are used to run computational work node
 s in a bare metal cluster running RHEL or CentOS.\n\n---------------------
 \nxCAT and Masterless Puppet: Aiming for Ideal Configuration Management\n\
 nSt. John\n\nConfiguration management is a major factor in the design of a
 n HPC system. This paper provides an evaluation of the new architecture of
  the HPC systems operated by Purdue University, focusing on the configurat
 ion management system.\n\n---------------------\nUpcoming Events in the HP
 C Systems Professionals Community\n\nBright, Knepper, Romanella, Brazil\n\
 nDiscussion of upcoming events in the HPC Systems Professionals community\
 n\n---------------------\nIntroduction - HPC Systems Professionals Worksho
 p (HPCSYSPROS18)\n\nYounts, Clifton, Harrell\n\nIn order to meet the deman
 ds of high performance computing (HPC) researchers, large-scale computatio
 nal and storage machines require many staff members who design, install, a
 nd maintain these systems. These HPC systems professionals include system 
 engineers, system administrators, network administra...\n\n---------------

 k\n\n\n\n---------------------\nHPCSYSPROS18: Keynote\n\nAnderson\n\nThis 
 talk will share knowledge and insights about best system engineering pract
 ices in managing massive amounts of data.  Drawing on decades of experienc
 e at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the presentation will c
 over topics such as data integrity, performance, and issues when scaling .
