Re: [Condor-users] GPU and condor?

["Michael O'Donnell" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

Our group has been considering this
technology as well. I suggest taking a look at these URLS (if you have
not seen them already):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/condorgpu/
www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/CondorWeek2009/condor.../blattner_integrating_gpus.ppt


The work that has been done has been
with Linux OS. Our group has only just began using Condor and we have not
spent any significant time looking into this technology, but I think there
could be great potential. We are using Condor to support a wide array of
research that utilizes statistical packages, Geographic Information Science
(GIS) applications, Java and others and therefore, we have not determined
how restricted we would be using this technology. A lot of our most demanding
work is in GIS, and a majority of our applications work with proprietary
software so some of our initial concerns require investigating what type
of applications and what type of programming languages will work in this
environment as well as what is involved with getting Condor and GPUs to
work on Windows environment.

If you do make any progress, it would
be great to hear back from you.

Dear Condor Folks,

is there someone in Condor user's community who has build GPU cluster 
based on condor?
I mean someone, who has worker nodes hw with GPU graphical cards and job
management is done by condor on the top.

We are very interested in this topic and would like to build such a 
infrastructure (condor + gpu worker nodes) for research people in our 
organization.
In first epoch of this project we'd like to develop standalone cluster:

- master condor head node
- 5 gpu worker nodes (each worker node 2x nVIDIA GTX295)
- storage element for data

I know, there is a lot to see on google about such a experiments, but I
wanted to ask directly from condor users about their 
opinions/suggestions/recommendations since we are serious about to build
condor gpu cluster and use it in production for our research activities.

If there is someone who has done similar setup and is willing share the
knowledge, I appreciate talk about it! Any url hints are welcome too...

Thanks and regards,
Marian
