Resource Requirements
- Hardware Systems
-
- alamo (Dell optiplex at TACC)
- foxtrot (IBM iDataPlex at UF)
- hotel (IBM iDataPlex at U Chicago)
- india (IBM iDataPlex at IU)
- sierra (IBM iDataPlex at SDSC)
- xray (Cray XM5 at IU)
VMs deployed through Nimbus. We will need RAIN, as we may need to deploy custom versions of Nimbus (this is currently possible in Grid'5000).
Scale of UseTypical experiment would need few (2-4) nodes/VMs in each site (alamo, hotel, india, foxtrot, sierra, etc).
