MINOS at the University of Minnesota

Summary of MINOS (and NOνA) Computers at Minnesota

Most machines have data areas which are accessible from all machines as /data/[machine] (e.g. /data/mnhep19), except that minos-server's data area is /data/minos. Hostnames end with ".spa.umn.edu". Locations are in Tate.

Most columns are set by hand and were up-to-date on 2009 07 15. The last two are automatically updated nightly. A few bear some explanation:

CPUs: Number of nodes that condor considers a machine to have. It doesn't differentiate between, e.g., 2 processors with 4 cores each and 4 processors with 2 cores each; these are both "8 CPUs".
UPS: Whether the computer is on an uninterruptible power supply, i.e. a battery backup.
Hardware Architecture: a statement about the physical processor(s).
Software Architecture: a statement about how Linux is running. From the user perspective, this is all that matters.

Other Departmental Computers

These computers are not owned by MINOS (or even NOνA). They belong to the condor group '"mnhep"' (the name includes the quotes!) and are owned by someone in the high energy group. They can be used, at least sometimes, for MINOS work. You should consider running your condor jobs with nice_user if you run here, but it is not required. This list may be out of date. Check 'condor_status'. Yes, not all computers named "mnhep" are in this group.

Name	RAM	CPU type	CPUs	Hard Arch	Soft Arch	SL ver
mnhep1	1GB	Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz	2	64 bit capable	32 bit x86	5.3
mnhep3	1GB	Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz	2	64 bit capable		5.3

These computers are owned by the Cleo and/or Bes III groups. They constitute the condor group '"cleofarm"', and can be used sometimes, with explicit permission from the Cleo/Bes III group, for MINOS work. This list may be out of date. Check 'condor_status'.

These are various desktops around the department and belong to the condorgroup '"physlin"'. They can also be used for MINOS work. You should consider running your condor jobs with nice_user if you run here, but it is not required. This list may be out of date. Check 'condor_status'.

physlin computers are configured by default (2009 06 24) to never run condor jobs on their first processor unless they have only one. This can be overridden by the condor user by setting the condor variable "HappyToBeEvicted" to "True".
