interconnects like Myrinet, Quadrics, Gigabit Ethernet andInfiniBand. MPI standards are widely used in distributedmemory systems. We have carried out performance analysisof MVAPICH (MVAPICH2 and MVAPICH) and Open MPIto analyze suitability of different MPI standards overInfiniBand interconnect using Intel MP_LINPACK opensource software. The graph below shows the results obtained.

Fig. 1.1.4: Peiformance of MVAP 1CH2, MVAP ICH and OpenMPI with InfiniBand interconnect.

Results of tests carried out for different sizes of systemequations revealed that MVAPICH2 delivers betterperformance as compared to Open MPI and MVAPICH. Thusapplications should be based on MVAPICH2 variant ofMPI ifthey are intended to run on high performance computingcluster with InfiniBand interconnect.

D) Porting of user programs:

As per requirement of users, various software packageswere successfully ported on computing servers and clusters.GUI based Biological Application software Autodock version4.0 has been successfully ported on Intel Itanium2 basedLinux platform. This application has been configured withGUI MGLTools version 1.5.4, Python-2.5, tcVtk-8.4 andSwig-I.3.31. The sequential applications successfully portedare: CST STUDIO SUITE 2008, Flair (Fluka AdvancedInterface) version 0.7, MELD & PPP on Intel Xeon basedLinux servers.

The parallel applications successfully ported on Kshitij-Icluster are: ADF-2009 bundle with HPMPI (AmsterdamDensity Functional, version 2009 - a FORTRAN program forcalculations on atoms and molecules) and CPMD (Car­Parrinello Molecular Dynamics - Electronic Structure andMolecular Dynamics Program).

E) Centralized access of ANSYS-12:

ANSYS-12 has been installed and configured on IntelItanium2 based high-end server Ganak-I with XII andOpenGL (Open Graphics Library) for 2D & 3D graphics. AllANSYS users can access ANSYS-12 software by connectingGanak-I server through remote graphical display from theirWindows and Linux desktops using X Display ManagerProtocol (XDMCP).

1.2: Development of Information Systems atRRCAT

A) Migration of client! server based Medical CentreInformation Management Software (Chikitsa) to webbased architecture:

Medical Centre Information Management Software(Chikitsa) has been migrated to web based platform using n­tier architecture, earlier it was running on two-tier client!server architecture. Xeon based Oracle 109 Database Serverand Application Server were installed and configured forauthentication from Oracle Internet Directory. Migration andre-engineering of data from Oracle 7.3 to Oracle 109 wascarried out while maintaining data integrity and consistency.Migration offorms and reports using Oracle Developer Suite109, application deployment on Application Server 109 andunified login was completed with single sign-on functionality.

Re-structuring of the software and database was done toovercome shortcomings of earlier software. New featureswere added for annual stock taking and report generation from

Thesoftware has also been enhanced for maintaining batch wisestock of medicines to facilitate listing of short expirymedicines.

A module was developed for Rebate 89 calculation todistribute Income tax over previous financial years. Arrearsrelated to 6 CPC, Suri committee recommendations and PRIS(0) were consolidated and Form 10C was generated for allemployees to verify calculated Rebate 89.

D) Revamping ofRRCATInfonet Portal:

Reported by:Alpana Rajan (alpana@rrcat.gov.in) and Ani! Rawat

The existing static web pages, authenticated webapplications and on-line Infonet services were re-designed,tested and deployed with new look and feel using cascadingstyle sheets with Server Side Include feature of web server.

configured on Infonet server. This has features for bettermonitoring and management of JVM, container managedsecurity for single sign-on, session replication and clustering,shared thread pools, web services support and connectionpooling. Latest version of JDK has been configured on theserver for supporting AES encryption feature. Secure SocketsLayer (SSL) support is also installed and configured to serverequests over secure channel for applications related toDigital Certificates using https protocol.

RRCATInfonet is very popular portal for dissemination ofinformation among the employees using two access schemes ­open access and authenticated access. RRCATInfonet hasbeen revamped with new look and feel to provide single pointaccess to various web resources and Internet! Intranet services

like email, Information portals etc.

Program was developed to generate Pay and Allowancesreport by extracting online information from AllowanceProcessing Software and Integrated Accounting Software toavoid duplicate data entry as well as to ensure consistency andcorrectness of data. Reports for Quarterly income tax return,PF schedule and PF broadsheet were also developed. Pay BillRegister (PBR) module was re-designed, developed andimplemented for entry ofPBR related details.

'Due statement' was re-generated for arrear calculation ofemployees affected by re-fixation in certain grades andimplementation of Suri Committee recommendations.Consolidation of data from all arrear files was done to

C) Enhancements to Pay and Allowance ProcessingSystem:

B) Enhancements to OASIS - Project MonitoringSoftware:

The software was enhanced further by adding anothermodule as c-OASIS (consolidated On-line AccesS to projectInformation System) for monitoring procurement andexpenditure related to all XI Plan projects. c-OASIS can beaccessed on RRCATInfonet by Director, Regional Director(IRPSU), JCFA and members of Planning and CoordinationCell for viewing complete expenditure details of RRCAT.Budget monitoring information and payment details for XIPlan projects can either be viewed project-wise or for allprojects. They can also view project wise procurementcalendar, phasing of plan expenditure and BEl RE reports forM&SI M&EI MW.

Comprehensive training to all the users of Medical Centrewas provided and now the software is successfully running onOracle 109 platform.

Project Monitoring Software OASIS has been enhancedby integrating Major Works data with various budgetmonitoring reports like list of all indents, list of paymentsmade, procurement calendar and BEl RE reports. Work orderand other details of major works files can be viewed using thelink on file no. Additional report has been added to provide listof closed files. Drill down option has been developed inProject Expenditure report for viewing payment detailsrelated to M&S, M&E, MW, OE, Temporary Advance, TAetc.
