Title: Harmony: A Harness Monitoring System for the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility

Abstract

Acceptance of a new system requires extensive testing and is often comprised of hundreds of tests. Summit, the latest flagship super-computer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), and the number one system in the November 2018 Top500 list [2], completed its acceptance testing in 2018. To execute acceptance, the acceptance test (AT) team utilizes the OLCF test harness, a tool developed at the OLCF that automates the launch and verification of all acceptance tests. Acceptance requires analysis of test results and classification of all test failures. The sheer number of tests involved makes performing these tasks challenging. To complete these tasks more efficiently, in addition to lessen the personnel burden during acceptance testing, we developed a monitoring system for the OLCF test harness called Harmony.

Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF)

Project Vazhkudai, Sudharshan

The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) was established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2004 with the mission of accelerating scientific discovery and engineering progress by providing outstanding computing and data management resources to high-priority research and development projects. OLCF unveiled Titan in 2013, which is capable of 27 petaflops. Titan is one of the first hybrid architecture systems—a combination of graphics processing units (GPUs), and the more conventional central processing units (CPUs) that have served as number crunchers in computers for decades. The OLCF gives the world’s most advanced computational researchers an opportunity to tackle problems that wouldmore »« less
