ItaniumŪ 2systems are now part of the Test Grid
Following successful software porting by Stephen Eccles and
Andreas Unterkircher, openlab IA64 based servers are now part of
the CERN Test GRID.
On Monday 16 February, the first successful GRID jobs were run
using one IA64 Worker Node and one ItaniumŪ 2Compute Element. This is
the first time a non-IA32 system is integrated into the GRID,
paving the way for future richer diversity in GRID server
systems.
This work was done in collaboration with Flavia Donno's EIS
team. A bigger test with several Worker Nodes is now in
preparation.
