Beste collega's, vandaag zijn ze begonnen met het infresen van de vloerverwarming. Zie de fotoblog[1]. Het gaat snel, met een uurtje zijn ze klaar. Morgen wordt de vloerverwarming aangelegd, donderdag komt de smeervloer. Ik kom waarschijnlijk woensdag naar het werk, voor de rest moet ik het vanuit huis zien te doen. Groetjes, Dennis 1. http://picasaweb.google.com/dvandok/Klus10?authkey=Gv1sRgCP-P5qGb7-mJUA# -- D.H. van Dok :: Software Engineer :: www.nikhef.nl :: www.biggrid.nl Phone +31 20 592 22 28 :: http://www.nikhef.nl/~dennisvd/

[Ct-grid] BiG Grids HPC Cloud service goes in beta...
by Floris Sluiter 03 May '10

03 May '10

For your information, more on virtualization ;-) BiG Grids HPC Cloud service goes in beta... Regards, Floris Dear reader, SARA is developing a High Performance Compute Cloud for the scientific community, funded by BiG Grid. Currently this HPC Cloud is offered in beta to a selected group of scientific users for evaluation purposes. We would like to invite members of the dutch scientific community to apply for evaluation use of the HPC Cloud. With this newly developed High Performance Computing (HPC) Cloud environment researchers are provided with access to their own Virtual Private HPC Cluster. It is a virtualized HPC Cluster that can be configured to exactly match their needs, without interfering with the needs of other users. It is flexible, offers self service and is dynamically scalable. Users can start from existing templates (images), or built their own cluster from scratch. It is even possible to make a copy from their current software environment (for example their laptop or desktop pc) and turn that into a HPC cluster in the Cloud. In that way, there will hardly be any difference between their development environment and their production environment. There is no need for an (expensive) rewrite of their software, and scientific challenges can be scaled up very easily from desktop scale to High Performance Compute cluster scale. When you wish to participate in this beta phase and want to make use of the developed service you are welcomed to submit a short proposal to claudia-support(a)sara.nl<mailto:claudia-support@sara.nl> before midnight the 12th of May 2010. Procedures and details are specified below. == Proposals (250-500 words) should consist of: == * a short description of your project objectives * a project planning in weeks * estimate of your desired compute hours * estimate of the storage requirements == What can be applied for? == * applicants will obtain access to the HPC Cloud * the ability to submit and start your own virtual machines * manage and configure your own submitted virtual machines ** Use existing templates, upload your own or configure from scratch with free choice of Operating System and applications ** Access to the virtual machines can be through console, ssh and over public_ip == What is expected of successful applicants? == * an entrepreneurial spirit and open mindedness, because of the beta status of this service * a written evaluation report on your experiences (1-2 pages) * participation in a planned workshop in September These and additional details can be found here: https://grid.sara.nl/wiki/index.php/Using_the_HPC_Cloud/betaevaluation The SARA support team will actively support the implementation of your planned activities. We are especially interested in applications which are difficult or near impossible to run on the existing HPC platforms (Huygens, Lisa, Grid), but do run in your local environment. In this beta phase we strive to offer a full production grade environment, we are however continuously improving the technical environment as well as the ways of working. This may have consequences on stability and availability. Please don't hesitate to inform others interested, apologies for any double postings. On behalf of the SARA HPC Cloud support team, Floris Sluiter & Tom Visser Mail: claudia-support(a)sara.nl<mailto:claudia-support@sara.nl> Phone: +316.533.919.31 SARA Computing & Networking Services High Performance Computing and Visualization http://www.sara.nl

[Ct-grid] Fwd: ONLINE booking of CERN hostel/ONLINE Supermarket for CERN hostel
by Hurng-Chun LEE 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

for people who will go to CERN for meetings in the future. Hurng ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Atlas Secretariat <Atlas.Secretariat(a)cern.ch> Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 3:16 PM Subject: ONLINE booking of CERN hostel/ONLINE Supermarket for CERN hostel To: atlas-gen(a)cern.ch Dear colleagues We are pleased to inform you of two new developments with regards to the CERN hostels. ONLINE Booking of CERN Hostel accommodation The first is the possibility to book directly yourself your room in the hostel online via the web. Reservations may only be made max. 2 months in advance and for a maximum stay of 2 months. *ONLY those people who are correctly registered with CERN and eligible to stay in the hostel will be able to login using their NICE password and make a reservation. * *(hostel booking rules https://espace.cern.ch/hostel-service/Wiki%20Pages/Booking%20Rules.aspx). * * * *You will be asked to give credit card details to confirm your reservation and may cancel up to 48 hours before arrival.* https://espace.cern.ch/hostel-service/default.aspx People (e.g. a student group) who are not registered with CERN may still reserve directly via the Hostel reception (cern.hostel(a)cern.ch). We will continue to keep the block bookings for the next ATLAS and Physics weeks however it is our intention to phase out these bookings as guests become more familiar with the system. ONLINE SUPERMARKET for CERN Hostel https://espace.cern.ch/hostel-service/default.aspx on the left hand column "CERN Hotel online food store" A basic online supermarket has been put in place. This is ONLY for residents of the hostel. Again it requires a nice login and will check if you are registered as a guest at the hostel. If you place your order before 11h, you can collect it in Restaurant 1 at the cash till between 10h and 11h the following day. This is perfect for people who have no time or perhaps transport to carry heavy items from the local shops and also offers the possibility to buy simple items to cook meals in the hostel kitchen. We hope you will find these two new offers useful and that they will make the busy lives of many of you a little bit easier. Thanks to the CERN Hostel team for their continued efforts in improving the life of Users at CERN. ATLAS Secretariat
