Utilizing Key Performance Indices to Deliver Extensive HPC Management and Administration
M.A. Baddourah, Sultan Alsaif, A.A. Turki · Proceedings · 2014
The paper introduces Key Performance Indices (KPIs) that cover four major service areas of importance to HPC: System Utilization, Network Health and Performance, System Availability, and Jobs Scheduling Efficiency. Development and implantation of the proposed indices are discussed in details. It has been found that the proposed methodologies play an important role in clarifying the overall representation of our systems, allowing us to proactively and optimally administer and manage our HPC resources for improved simulation processes.
