Conveners
In Practice: Afternoon Sessions
- Steven Woudstra (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen)
Description
Deep dive into what it means to run compute facilities in practice.
Expect technical talks from experts in the field.
The University of Groningen recently celebrated 60 years of computing at the university. A lot has changed in that time, but a constant factor is running calculations and analysis on our own hardware. Currently, this involves two clusters in two data centers and several petabytes of storage, built entirely with open source technologies. With this, we provide 2300+ researchers with computing...
What if you could launch a full OS environment—with systemd, networking, persistent storage—in and full package management in milliseconds, not minutes? systemd-nspawn containers blur the line between containers and VMs, offering a drop-in, near-native performance without hypervisors.
In this talk, I’ll show you how to:
- Howto build and deploy VM-like nspawn containers
- Replace...
CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is home to the world's largest particle accelerator (Large Hadron Collider, LHC) that produces massive amounts of data each year. CERN's Storage and Data Management Group is responsible for enabling data storage and access for the CERN laboratory, in particular the long-term archival, preservation and distribution of LHC data to a worldwide...
