XSEDE local resource identifier tool

• Vendor Software URL: https://software.xsede.org/production/xdresourceid/latest/

XSEDE  command line tool to record in XCDB the gateway user who ran a job on a resource under a community account.

• Vendor Software URL: https://software.xsede.org/production/gateway_submit_attributes/latest/

Package that generates a file called xsede-oauth-mapfile containing entries like:

{xsede_username}@xsede.org {local_username}

Each entry maps an XSEDE OAuth identity in the form {xsede_username}@xsede.org to the corresponding local username on a specific XSEDE resource. An XSEDE OAuth identity may have multiple lines mapping it to multiple local usernames. These mappings come from the XSEDE Central Database (XCDB) and are accessed by this tool through an API.

XSEDE's Globus Connect Server (GCS) v5.4+ and other tools use these mappings to access local resources as the authenticated user.

Suppose you already have a cluster that you are happy with and you want to add too it software tools that will allow users to use open sources software like that on XSEDE, or other particular pieces of software that you think are important, but you don't want to blow up your cluster to add that capability? XNIT is for you. You can add all of the basic software that is in SCBC, as relocatable RPMs (Resource Package Manger), via a YUM repo . (YUM Stands for Yellowdog Updater, Modified). The RPMs in XNIT allow you to expand the functionality of your cluster, in ways that mimic the setup on an XSEDE cluster. XNIT packages include specific scientific, mathematical, and visualization applications that have been useful on XSEDE systems. Systems administrators may pick and choose what they want to add to their local cluster ; updates may be configured to run automatically or manually. Currently the XNIT repository is available for x86_64 systems running CentOS 6 or 7. Consult the XSEDE Knowledge Base for more information.

XSEDE Operations and User Services groups recommend implementation of the cue-login-env module by SPs with XRAC allocated resources (at any SP Level).  This module will provide variables containing resource information (e.g. hostname), reference location information (e.g. URLs to documentation, paths to community spaces) as well as defining the user's Home, Work & Scratch directories and other file spaces.

The XSEDE-Compatible Basic Cluster (XCBC) software toolkit enables campus CI resource administrators to build a local cluster from scratch, which is then easily interoperable with XSEDE-supported CI resources. XCBC is very simple in concept: pull the lever, have a cluster built for you complete with an open source resource manager / scheduler and all of the essential tools needed to run a cluster, and have those tools set in place in ways that mimic the basic setup on an XSEDE-supported cluster . The XCBC is based on the OpenHPC project, and consists of XSEDE -developed Ansible playbooks and templates designed to ease the work required to build a cluster. Consult the XSEDE Knowledge Base for complete information about how to use XCBC to set up a cluster.
