MCMS for OpenHPC Recipe

This is an experimental work in progress - it is not ready for production

MCMS is Microway's Cluster Management Software. This is not the production-ready version of MCMS. This is an ongoing project to bring Microway's expertise and software tools to the recently-announced OpenHPC collaborative framework.

Purpose

This recipe contains many of the same elements as the official OpenHPC recipe, but offers a variety of customizations and enhancements, including:

• Automated power-down of idle compute nodes
• Support for Mellanox InfiniBand
• Support for NVIDIA GPU accelerators
• Monitoring of many additional metrics (WIP)
• More sophisticated log collection and analysis (WIP)
• Nagios-compatible monitoring with a more modern interface (WIP)

Installation

Given a vanilla CentOS 7.x installation, this collection of scripts will stand up an OpenHPC cluster. This script will be tested with fresh installations - attempting to run it on an installation that's had a lot of changes may break.

# Use your favorite text editor to customize the install
vim configuration_settings.txt

# Run the installation on the new Head Node
./install_head_node.sh
