Data Driven CI System Design and Procurement with Open XDMoD

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The ability to apply data-driven design principles to customize new CI investment to best serve the intended community as well as provide fact-based justification for its need is critical given the important role it plays in research and economic development and its high cost. Here we describe a data driven approach to CI system design based on workload analyses obtained using the popular open-source CI management tool Open XDMoD, and how it was leveraged in a procurement to provide end-users with an additional 5.6 million CPU hours annually, with subsequent procurements following similar design goals. In addition to system design, we demonstrate Open XDMoD’s utility in providing fact-based justification for the CI procurement through usage metrics of existing CI resources.
