Monitoring Farm

See Elliott's slides for complete details. The upshot is that everything is going smoothly concerning installing and running prototype monitoring farm software on the borrowed nodes (4 x 16 cores) in the Counting House. Performance is as expected, network bandwidth limits are easily achieved over Ethernet, cpu loads are as expected, ET is working fine, everything is scaling properly. Dave A is setting up the InfiniBand switch and Elliott will repeat all tests when it is working. Dave L is close to having a JANA monitoring program to run instead of Elliott's test consumers. Dave and Elliott will need to implement the translation table in JANA to complete performance testing. Elliott and Vardan will create a farm manager CODA component when Vardan is done with other higher-priority tasks.

Carl noted that ET will be need to be retuned for IP over IB, as the default parameters are tuned for IP over Ethernet. It is not clear what fraction of the IB bandwidth will be achieved in practice.
