As of this week, access to the Central Reconstruction Server (CRS) is
restricted to submitting jobs via the DQS system, with the eventual goal
of fair and even distribution of jobs on the CPU. I say eventual because
the current configuration is very simple, and can be refined based upon
the input of the user community.
Jobs can be submitted from the hosts rpro00 and rpro01. For a quick
start guide to using DQS in the RCF environment, please refer to
http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/html/local/DQS/
Please use the "queue complex" abstraction described in the above
document and avoid queuing jobs to individual hosts. One of the
benefits of DQS for the administrators of the CRS is that we can pull
a host out of the pool to perform maintenance, and re-arrange the
resources available to specific endeavors.
Feel free direct any questions, suggestions, or concerns about
DQS to myself.
As of this writing, the CRS consists of 19 200MHz PentiumPro processors
with 128MB RAM per processor. Over the next few days this number will
grow to a full 40 CPUS. (Where does 19 come from? Don't ask...)
