Revision as of 10:02, 1 February 2017
Status: Active (@May 2016)
Chairs: Stig Telfer, Blair Bethwaite and Martial Michel
OpenStack Foundation liaison: David F. Flanders <Flanders@OpenStack.org>
Welcome to the OpenStack Scientific Working Group landing page.
Please cite this working group using the #scientific-wg tag on listservs, github, blogs, twitter and other social infrastructure.
Purpose
Aim: The Scientific Working Group is dedicated to representing and advancing the use-cases and needs of research and high-performance computing atop OpenStack. It's also a great forum for cross-institutional collaboration. If you are (or would like to) run OpenStack to support researchers/scientists/academics and/or HPC/HTC, then please join!
Objectives:
- HPC/HTC Infrastructure
- Research Data Infrastructure
- Application Infrastructure
- Social Infrastructure
- Create opportunities for the scientific community to engage the wider OpenStack community, i.e. industry,
Communication
The default communication of our members is via the following open community mailing lists:
- user-committee@lists.openstack.org for coordination of working group activities. Please prefix email subject lines with the tag "[scientific-wg]".
- openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org for operational discussion of scientific OpenStack deployment issues. Please prefix email subject lines with the tag "[scientific]".
Please use the hashtag "scientific-wg" for tagging any etherpad URLs, code, blogs posts, scientific research and/or other social publishing platforms.
Members
No formal membership is required. Please introduce yourself and/or fellow colleagues to this working group using one of the mailing lists below, or by attending one of the IRC meetings.
This group is open to all members of the scientific OpenStack community and supporting vendors.
History
Significant dates for the working group (in reverse chronological order):
- [Please add latest activity for the #scientific-wg here at the top of this list]
- A proposal for hosting a face-to-face working group meeting was drafted at the following document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10d7XDC1yw3thjxMMC1EXJlfmMAcjkfj2wnhH2MJgh9k/edit
- The group was approved by the OpenStack foundation's User Committee board and wiki page minted on 15th January 2016.
- The original proposal and call for nominations was drafted via this etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/scientific-wg
- The #scientific-wg originated from a conversation in the hallways of the Tokyo OpenStack summit (Oct 2015), ideas originating from John Taylor, Paul Calleja, Stig Telfer, Jonathan Proulx, David F. Flanders, Lauren Sell & Tom Fifield.
Activity Areas
Every OpenStack development cycle, four activity areas are selected to focus on, and working group members gather data on problems and solutions in areas that affect them.
For the Ocata development cycle, the four activity areas are:
- Monitoring and Telemetry
- GPUs in OpenStack
- Data Management and Big Data
- Scientific OpenStack Federation
Scientific OpenStack
The Scientific WG contributes knowledge and experience to the OpenStack Foundation's Scientific OpenStack site.
The Scientific WG also generated and maintains the content for the OpenStack/HPC guide "The Crossroads of Cloud and HPC: OpenStack for Scientific Research", published by the OpenStack Foundation and made available as an ebook.
Meetings
Face-to-Face
The Scientific Working Group usually meets at the OpenStack Design summits, and also at operators mid-cycle meetups (where possible).
- Operators mid-cycle February 2016, Manchester, UK: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MAN-ops-Scientific-WG
- Newton Design Summit April 2016, Austin, USA: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/scientific-wg-austin-summit-agenda
Barcelona Summit, October 2016
The Scientific WG planned a range activities for the summit in Barcelona:
- The HPC / Research speaker track has seven talks scheduled for Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th
- A BoF for Scientific OpenStack. (Wednesday, October 26, 2:15pm-2:55pm, Hilton Diagonal Mar - P0 - Ballroom B)
- Lightning talks schedule TBC
- A WG committee meeting for progress review and planning. (Wednesday, October 26, 11:25am-12:05pm, AC Hotel - P14 - Pedralbes)
- Agenda items for the meeting, please contribute.

Some WG members have compiled a short list of top picks from the summit schedule
