Description

Dear HPC-Cloud users,

The workshop aims to bring cloud projects and MPCDF cloud experts togehter to share ideas and discuss future directions. 

The workshop will take place at the MPCDF in Garching, as an in person event, due to the interactive nature of the workshop. 

Your sign-up includes the optional participation in the Beer Garden gathering (10 September), the tour of the Max Planck Computing & Data Facility (11 September) and the Dinner at Gasthof Neuwirt (11 September). 

We are looking forward to welcoming you in September to the MPCDF on the Science Campus in the north of Munich. 

John Kennedy & Frank Berghaus

      • On Cloud Full Stack Bioinformatics 20m

        This talk will cover the aspects of a bioinformatician stack and how we currently run it 100% over the cloud.
        Starting with the UI to the facility, Flaski, users are able to access data lakes, do data visualization, and create jobs for large scale processing (eg. RNAseq, variant calling ). Making use of Nextflow and Raven these jobs run fully automated from request submission to data delivery over MPCDF’s OwnCloud instance. Data transfer takes place over an FTP server (Docker over OpenSatck) which access control is managed from Flaski. Continuous deployment of Flaski is done with the use of GitHub and DockerHub, leading to the automated deployment of every commit to a development namespace on Kubernetes and every tag to the production namespace. Kubernetes is per se deployed over OpenStack. For interactive work a posit container is deployed on an OpenStack instance with access to Nexus. A small HPC cluster is as well deployed over OpenStack to support development and custom work as well as large time and/or memory jobs. Details on several automation steps will be described eg. archiving of raw data and projects, user and disk space management. With this the facility is now able to computational support automated running of workflows over Raven for the entire Max Planck Society and deliver Nextflow config files for local runs to researchers worldwide.

      • Workstations, SLURM cluster, Analysis server, User Storage, Network Integration – Use cases and challenges of the FHI 30m

        The FHI moves more and more computing and analysis related services to the MPCDF HPC cloud – from high-resource virtual workstations for the FHI Theory department, GPU-accelerated nodes for Machine-Learning, a ‘speciality’ SLURM cluster, an FHI-wide analysis server, a JupyterHub to S3 replication, backup, and end-user buckets.
        We provide a short overview of the use cases of the FHI, and address former and current challenges in implementing and using the MPCDF HPC cloud infrastructure. In addition we give a short overview of the network, IDM, and Storage integration between MPCDF and FHI.

      • The Digitization of the Photographic Collection at BHMPI 20m

        “In this presentation we provide details about how the digitization workflow for the Photographic Collection took place. Starting from preparatory work, the actual process of scanning the photographic material will be described including all steps of transformation and archival using MPCDF resources as Raven, the Nexus Storage and the Long term archive, to achieve a stable and reproducible workflow which we use for our usual business and to serve the images via IIIF to all our partners world-wide. Plans for further developments will also be addressed.”

      • SciServer 20m

        In 2020 the MPE SciServer (sciserver.mpe.mpg.de), a system originally developed by the Johns Hopkins Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science was deployed at the MPCDF for the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE).
        This science platform is serving as a collaboration tool for the eROSITA and HETDEX projects, allowing around 200 astronomers from both international collaborations to work on their data in one place in a secure, consistent, and yet flexible manner. Given the success of the tool in the last 4 years, the MPE SciServer project is now aiming to shift from our manually maintained hardware into the use of the flexibility and scalability the HPC Cloud offers in the future.
