Supporting Research Computing @ Syracuse University Why We Invest What It Takes Where We Are Going Peter Pizzimenti Associate Director Research Computing Syracuse University
Why We Invest: Syracuse University R1, serving a diverse user base Campus demand for a flexible research computing infrastructure Amplifying grant dollars Provide opportunities for those without formal funding Compute at no cost: Syracuse University 2
Why We Invest: Impact beyond the University Over 1 Billion CPU hours contributed to OSG via OrangeGrid 1 of 6 PATh Facilities Expanding national research impact with partnerships outside SU Syracuse University 3
What It Takes: People & Resources People: Resources & Community: Research Computing Team OneIT Personalized Onboarding Knowledge Ecosystem Research Speaking Series Syracuse University 4
What It Takes: Infrastructure 80,000 dedicated and 10,000 scavenged cores OrangeGrid: Zest: 25,000 cores SLURM, InfiniBand interconnect SUrge: 450+ GPUs NVIDIA RTX 5000s to 80GB A100s AVHE: Private research cloud Bigger than a desktop, Smaller than a cluster Syracuse University 5
What It Takes: OrangeGrid Up Close 90% of two datacenters Flexibility via virtualization Architecture: CVMC: Condor Virtual Machine Coordinator Scavenged Nodes Annual Renewal Built-In Miniconda & Apptainer (Singularity) Self-Service Software Model: Syracuse University 6
Where We Are Going: Bursting Augmenting OrangeGrid Interactive Pet nodes to the cloud Multi-cloud, spot-market approach Agnostic Tooling X as Code: Terraform & Ansible-Pull Storage: NFS-Ganesha & Cachefilesd Overlay Networks: Nebula/NetMaker Syracuse University 7
