National Science FoundationNSF Software Development for Cyberinfrastructure (SDCI) ProgramOffice of CyberinfrastructureProposal Number: 0721623Principal Investigator: Philip PapadopoulosInstitution: University of California-San DiegoProposal Title: SDCI Improvement: The Rocks Cluster Toolkit and Extensions to Build User-Defined CyberenvironmentsAbstractThis project will improve Rocks, a system for turn-key software installation and updates for Linux clusters. Virtual machine (specifically Xen-based) support, complex system configuration, and large-scale system scaling are the targeted areas in this proposal. Rocks will continue to be maintained and supported under this proposal. Heterogeneous clusters with multiple appliances will be supported. Additional operating systems will also be supported. Intellectual merit includes several facets, such as new techniques for VM management, Management of large clusters is a challenging operational area addressed by this work. The more general area of system administration is advanced by Rocks. Rocks directly targets reproducible and scalable Cyberinfrastructure. Broader impact mirrors intellectual merit, and specifically lies in Rock's new capabilities enabling management of very large clusters such as those emerging from the NSF Track 2 program, the ease of configuration of clusters supporting virtualization capabilities and generally the continuing effect of Rocks on installation and use of Linux clusters across NSF communities.

美国国家科学基金会网络基础设施软件开发（SDCI）计划网络基础设施办公室提案编号：0721623主要研究者：Philip Papadopoulos机构：加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校提案标题：SDCI改进：构建用户定义网络基础设施的Rocks集群工具包和扩展摘要该项目将改进Rocks，一个用于Linux集群的交钥匙软件安装和更新的系统。虚拟机（特别是基于Xen的虚拟机）支持、复杂的系统配置和大规模系统扩展是本提案的目标领域。根据这项提议，将继续维持和支持岩石。将支持具有多个设备的异构群集。还将支持其他操作系统。知识价值包括几个方面，如虚拟机管理的新技术，大型集群的管理是这项工作所解决的一个具有挑战性的业务领域。系统管理的更一般的领域是由Rocks提出的。Rocks直接针对可复制和可扩展的网络基础设施。更广泛的影响反映了智力上的优点，特别是Rock的新功能，使管理非常大的集群，如那些出现在NSF轨道2计划，易于配置的集群支持虚拟化功能和一般的持续影响的岩石安装和使用Linux集群在NSF社区。
