    IBM United States Hardware Announcement 121-045, dated April 20, 2021 IBM Power Systems Private Cloud Solution is enhanced to support selected SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscriptions as Shared Utility Capacity resources Table of contents 1 Overview 1 Description 1 Key requirements 2 Order now 1 Effective date Overview The IBM(R) Power(R) Systems Private Cloud Solution with Shared Utility Capacity was initially launched with support to share Base processor and memory hardware resources, as well as AIX(R) and IBM i license entitlements, across a collection of similar Power servers in an enterprise. Now, selected SUSE Linux(R) Enterprise Server (SLES) subscription offerings will be supported as Base and Metered Capacity resources within an IBM Power Enterprise Pool (2.0) of IBM Power System E980 or E950 servers. Key requirements • For Linux metering, HMC 950 is required. Effective date April 30, 2021 Description SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription offerings will now be monitored, shared as Base Capacity, and made available as pay-per-use Metered Capacity resources when a Power Enterprise Pool (2.0) consisting of Power E980 or Power E950 systems is started: 5639-15S 5639-12S SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Power with Base 1 - 2 Socket, Unlimited LPAR and Priority Subscription or Priority Subscription/Support features 5639-SAP SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications for Power with 1 - 2 Socket, Unlimited LPAR and Priority Subscription or Priority Subscription/Support features Base Capacity resources may be shared across systems within a pool. SLES Base subscription entitlement for each system will be set to the number of cores available in the quantity of sockets entitled by the current, valid subscription for that system IBM United States Hardware Announcement 121-045 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1 (the number of cores per chip multiplied by the quantity of sockets acquired in the current subscription).

  • Tree-Like Distributed Computation Environment with Shapp Library
    information Article Tree-Like Distributed Computation Environment with Shapp Library Tomasz Gałecki and Wiktor Bohdan Daszczuk * Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw University of Technology, 00-665 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-234-78-12 Received: 30 January 2020; Accepted: 1 March 2020; Published: 3 March 2020 Abstract: Despite the rapidly growing computing power of computers, it is often insufficient to perform mass calculations in a short time, for example, simulation of systems for various sets of parameters, the searching of huge state spaces, optimization using ant or genetic algorithms, machine learning, etc. One can solve the problem of a lack of computing power through workload management systems used in local networks in order to use the free computing power of servers and workstations. This article proposes raising such a system to a higher level of abstraction: The use in the .NET environment of a new Shapp library that allows remote task execution using fork-like operations from Portable Operating System Interface for UNIX (POSIX) systems. The library distributes the task code, sending static data on which task force is working, and individualizing tasks. In addition, a convenient way of communicating distributed tasks running hierarchically in the Shapp library was proposed to better manage the execution of these tasks. Many different task group architectures are possible; we focus on tree-like calculations that are suitable for many problems where the range of possible parallelism increases as the calculations progress. Keywords: workload management; remote fork; distributed computations; task group communication 1.

When designing load-balanced topologies, it is important to account for the availability of the load balancer itself as well as the real servers behind it. Keepalived provides frameworks for both load balancing and high availability. The load balancing framework relies on the well-known and widely used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module, which provides Layer 4 load balancing. Keepalived implements a set of health checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage load balanced server pools according to their health. High availability is achieved by the Virtual Redundancy Routing Protocol (VRRP). VRRP is a fundamental brick for router failover. In addition, keepalived implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing low-level and high-speed protocol interactions. Each Keepalived framework can be used independently or together to provide resilient infrastructures. In this context, load balancer may also be referred to as a director or an LVS router.
