Resource contribution to Computing by the Bonn IceCube Group and the University
The installment and operation of the computing cluster includes:
1. Hardware for a new IceCube Computer Cluster (start-up funds from the University)
2. High quality Computing Space, cooling, power & network (provided by Physics Institute)
3. System administration (.3 FTE sys-admin)
1., Hardware for a new IceCube Computer Cluster
As part of the start-up package, the University Bonn supports the installment of a computer cluster that is dedicated to IceCube research. The budget for the hardware is 250.000 Euro and will be funded in equal shares by the University and the DFG, assuming successful evaluation of the proposal to the DFG.
2 Computing Space, cooling and power & Networking
The Physics Institute provides high quality space, cooling and power. The IceCube group is provided with space locally in the PI, that is dedicated and well suited for intensive research computing (i.e. high-bandwidth connections & cooling facilities are available). The facility is currently hosting the 800-node cluster of the ATLAS groups. The University carries electricity costs that arise due to operation of the cluster.
3. System administration
The Bonn University provides 17kEuro per year in funding. The system administration for the computing cluster will be approximately .3 FTE, financed through IceCube start-up funds obtained from the University (i.e. 17.000 kEuro per year for 3 years). The administration of the cluster will be a joined effort with the ATLAS-HEP groups at the PI (joined effort is 1 FTE). If there is need for further system administration it will be provided from within the IceCube group.
