Salut Antoine,
Une autre “911” pour le data, tu es populaire!
SVP commencer l’analyse. En priorité sortir en « csv » ce qui serait lié avec NRC. Tu peux
même déjà commencer à extraire le stock.
Pour les graphes ben c’est hpc-stats, on ne commenceras pas à réengineerer ça en
catastrophe. S’ils ont le raw data ils s’amuseront!
Pour l’instant c’est un heads up, mais garde ta gang sharp pour quand la requête plus
formelle va rentrer.
Comme d’habitude, tiens moi au courant si qqch accroche.
Merci!

Hi everyone,
We expect to be asked for information regarding NRC usage of SSC resources soon. Not clear
on the scope and timeline, but I expect to be asked later today and to provide input by
either tomorrow end of day or Monday – it could be a tight turnaround… thus yes, this is
high priority. The goal from our (IHPCM) side is to demonstrate that we are a reliable
large-scale infra provider, an effective parnter and we manage/deliver services to NRC
efficiently in various circumstances.
In anticipation of this, could you please ensure that your usage stats are up to date and
have data available and ready when asked? In particular:
* HPCLM (Marc):
* stats on usage of SSC-support NRC systems in Victoria (primarily CADC – storage,
compute, number of physical and virtual systems, number of users if we have that handy)
from now to 1-3 years ago if we have it
* stats on usage of SSC-supported NRC systems in SK – what Dustin is doing and
using in terms of resources… though I am not sure we have access to this given they are
run by NRC on SSC hardware. If you don’t have this info, we can go with what we expect in
a new BR based on ongoing discussions as a proxy
* HPCO/HPCI:
* GPSC usage on all clusters as well as allocations. Ideally even graphs or tables
of usage comparing allocation to usage for NRC (does not need to be broken down by group –
whatever is easiest) going back 1-3 years. Please include GPSCC but separate it from the
GPSC (internal) stats.
* Can we show the growth in allocation and usage over time (even if two separate
tables)? May have to look up BRs and trace their evolution, or if we keep track of time in
the allocation spreadsheet (or use previous versions), it can be derived from that.
* Number of NRC users, storage usage etc
If you have other data that you feel would be helpful, please send me that too.
Please do not just send me graphs – please send me the data in CSV or Excel format (with
graphs cut and pasted in, or produced via Excel if you’d like)… the graphs are usually
helpful but in this case because we don’t know the exact data they want, we may need to
slice and dice differently and I cannot do with with JPEGs and GIFs!
Thank you for your help and collaboration – I know it’s a ton of work, but it is really in
our own interests.
Merci,
Charles
