DAPHNE Deployment

Overview

This directory deploy/ can be used to deploy the Daphne System. With these scripts one can:

  • build the Daphne System (using build.sh),
  • package,
  • deliver and install to a deployment platform (e.g. HPC) and
  • utilize the resources of multiple machines/nodes.
  • It can also be used to just try out DAPHNE on a single machine.

Once deployed, Daphne system consists of multiple DistributedWorkers and a single coordinator who is responsible for handling a distributed execution.

Where to Start

  • deployDistributed.sh can be used to manually deploy using only SSH. When executed without parameters, it prints out the help message.
  • deploy-distributed-on-slurm.sh can be used for environments with Slurm tool. When executed without parameters, it prints out the help message.

Deployment Scheme

DAPHNE Deployment Scheme encompasses the following:

  • A Compilation node (where the Daphne System will be compiled)
  • Deployment Platform (e.g. an HPC with SLURM support)
    • Login Node (or, other type of access)
      • HPC Task Submission interface (e.g. SLURM)
    • Compute Node(s)
      • DAPHNE coordinator
      • DAPHNE DistributedWorkers

Deployment scripts

This directory includes a set of bash scripts providing support for:

  • packaging/virtualization of the deployment (installation) package,
  • containerized packaging,
  • virtualized installation,
  • managed deployment,
  • deployment of the ˙daphne˙ executable,
  • starting and managing Daphne processes within containerized environments (schedule and execute remotely SLURM tasks), and
  • stopping and cleaning of a deployment.

List of Files in this Directory

  1. This short README file to explain directory structure and point to more documentation at Deploy.
  2. A script that builds the "daphne.sif" singularity image from the Docker image daphneeu/daphne-dev
  3. deploy-distributed-on-slurm script allows the user to deploy DAPHNE with SLURM.
  4. deployDistributed script builds and sends DAPHNE to remote machines manually with SSH (no tools like Slurm needed).
  5. example-time.daphne Daphne example script which prints out the running time of a simple operation.
  6. The Singularity image configuration file.

More Documentation
