Breaking the Barriers to Effective Supercomputing: Web Dashboard for Job Accounting and Performance Metrics

SessionResearch, ACM SRC, and Doctoral Showcase Posters

DescriptionThe NSF-funded Anvil supercomputer, built and maintained by the Purdue University Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, enables efficient research computing across a variety of scientific domains nationwide. In addition to the traditional terminal interface, Anvil uses the open-source web portal framework Open OnDemand to provide a low barrier web interface to the Anvil supercomputer. In this poster we describe enhancements that were made to Anvil's Open OnDemand dashboard to provide a clean, well-structured, and extensible interface for researchers to visualize useful information about their utilization of Anvil without accessing the terminal. Our enhancements include various apps that provide detailed statistics about user jobs and their respective performance metrics while also focusing on data query performance. The information in these apps will enable users to identify and debug any jobs that are noticeably resource-inefficient, as well as improve the queue wait time and efficiency of their jobs in the future.
