Challenge

Software-based management of complex and heterogeneous IT infrastructures from a single point of access.

Overview

M.U.C.C.A. is a single-access, flexible and modular platform for managing heterogeneous computing clusters and other IT ancillary systems based on the following tools:

  • DB to store info about status, configurations, usage and operation reports;
  • Various shell scripts to collect and analyse data in an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network, perform jobs, automate DB management and data presentation;
  • Web interface;
  • GREEN (https://www.crs4.it/results/technology-catalogue/green/) an energy-saving toolkit to switch on/off computing nodes on the basis of the queue load and resources usage, guaranteeing considerable savings in terms of both energy and costs;

Keywords

Advanced computing; Web and information systems; Database systems; Information retrieval and digital libraries; Collaborative systems; IoT.

Status

  1. Currently used for the management of the CRS4 HPC centre:
    • All components are developed using open source software (Apache; MariaDB; PhP 5 e 7; HTML5; Bash);
    • General release 2.11 fully and regularly updated;
  2. Technology Readiness Level (TRL): 6;
  3. Web interface not mobile-optimised.

Innovative features

  • Portability across systems (tested in a production environment on Windows, Linux and Android architectures);
  • It runs on a variety of different communication protocols (LDAP; SNMP; SSH; SSL; High-low);
  • Centralised service access control and management;
  • Modular scalability;
  • Ease of use.

Potential users

  • Administrators of complex cluster systems and/or ancillary equipment (e. g. clusters with independent cooling units);
  • Users of computing facilities gaining visual access to information with different granularity about jobs submitted and/or running on cluster nodes.

Impact sectors

High Performance Computing - HPC; Virtual machines service management; Multi-user and multi-workstation systems management.
