SUMMARY:Deploying a Top-100 Supercomputer for Large Parallel Workloads: th
 e Niagara Supercomputer
DESCRIPTION:Deploying a Top-100 Supercomputer for Large Parallel Workloads
 : the Niagara Supercomputer\n\nPonce, Van Zon, Northrup, Gruner, Chen...\n
 \nNiagara is currently the fastest supercomputer accessible to academics i
 n Canada.\nIt was deployed at the beginning of 2018 and has been serving t
 he research community ever since.\nThis homogeneous 60,000-core cluster, o
 wned by the University of Toronto and operated by SciNet, was intended to 
 enable large parallel jobs and has a measured performance\nof 3.02 petaflo
 ps, which put it at #53 in the June 2018 TOP500 list.\nIt was designed to 
 optimize throughput of a range of scientific codes running at scale,\nener
 gy efficiency, and network and storage performance and capacity.\nIt repla
 ces two system that SciNet operated for over 8 years, the Tightly Coupled\
 nSystem (TCS) and the General Purpose Cluster (GPC).\nIn this paper we wil
 l describe the transition process from these two systems, the procurement 
 and\ndeployment processes, as well as the unique features that make Niagar
 a\na one of a kind machine in Canada.\nWe believe that there are important
  lessons and knowledge that can be transferred\nand applied in other super
 computer centers as ours.\n\nPaper\nFacilitation, Technical Paper, Cluster
