Would like to delegate the management and distribution of credits to established project management hierarchy
Dynamic Charging, Reservations
Users can exceed their allocations until accounting is synchronized with resource management system
Expiring allocations (use-it-or-lose-it)
Projects start slow then simultaneously demand their entire allocations be fulfilled at end of project cycle
Fine-grained allocations
Resources are hogged by the projects or project members that submit jobs most aggressively
Introduction
Gold is an open source accounting system that allocates and tracks resource usage on High Performance Computers.
* A resource bank (allocation management system)
o Much like a bank, it associates a cost to computing resources and allows resource credits to be allocated to users and projects. As jobs complete or as resources are utilized, projects are dynamically charged and resource usage recorded.
* An accounting system
o Can be dynamically customized to record any type of accounting data – pacct, sar, node availability, performance data, etc.
* An information service
o Also functions as a powerful generalized information service useful in a variety of situations, such as providing meta-scheduling mappings of machines to resources, applications, accounts, users, etc.
Background
* SciDAC
o Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing – A DOE initiative to improve the impact of scientific computing
* Scalable Systems Software Project (SSS)
o Research, develop and support an integrated suite of systems software and tools for the effective management and utilization of the highest scale computational resources. 5 yr project involving 12 sites
* QBank
o Gold is based on a successful program, QBank, that has been used for years on government and university computing systems.
