SSERCA Mission
Internet2 Meeting (October 3, 2011)
… to further the development of state-wide computational science infrastructure of advanced scientific computing, communications and education resources by promoting cooperation between Florida’s universities.

Sunshine State Education and Research Computing Alliance
What SSERCA isAn alliance of 5 universities: FSU, UCF, UF, UM, USF
What SSERCA doesHelps interface researchers to cyberinfrastructureProvides web catalog to research projectsOffers joint CPU and storage resourcesServes as a vehicle for collaboration
How SSERCA communicatesRegular meetings since July 2010Quarterly “Summits” w/Directors/CIOs: (3 in 2011)
Internet2 Meeting (October 3, 2011)

Motivation
Maximize collective impact of Florida’s scientific and IT assetsScientistsComputing facilitiesData storage systemsSpecialized research
instrumentsState-wide optical network
(FLR)

SSERCA Goals Build and leverage cyberinfrastructure
… for research across public and private Universities within Florida
Provide researchers access… to advanced computational and data services &
expertise Collaborate effectively
… for federal grant opportunities(NSF panels look for pre-existing collaboration)

Specific Deliverables Catalog high-end resources
Internal use: track assets and progress related to linking assets
Showcase STEM resources: attract positive attention to Florida
Build and support collaborative infrastructureData sharingCycle sharing
Three well defined research projects

Five Collaborative Activities Data sharing CPU sharing CMS experiment at CERN CryoEM Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere
Internet2 Meeting (October 3, 2011)
Paul Avery 12
(1) Data Sharing Based on Lustre wide-area file system
Shared files appear as localExperience and expertise at UF and FSU
Leverages 20 Gbps FLR infrastructure Leverage ExTENCI project (NSF funded, 2010-12)
Addition of Kerberos-based securityPSC expertise and support
Many performance tests completed & ongoingFile movement between UF, FSU, FIU, PSC
Internet2 Meeting (October 3, 2011)
Paul Avery 13
(2) CPU Sharing Leverages Open Science Grid (NSF/DOE funded)
“Campus Grids” project (multi-university)Weekly calls: good support & expertise
Successful Condor tests “flocking” jobs from FIU to UF
Further tests to be carried out in Fall 2011 Initial resource at FSU (3Leaf donation)
96 nodes (1,152 cores), 6 GB/coreOther resources expected (modulo power/cooling
availability)
