The University at Buffalo's XDMoD tool provides for the comprehensive management of HPC systems, including the ability to provide performance data for all jobs running on a cluster. Using the XDMoD Job Viewer, system support personnel can readily identify poorly performing jobs - with the end goal of working the the end user to improve performance.

In this presentation, we will begin with a brief PowerPoint presentation on XDMoD with an emphasis on the Job Viewer tab. This will be followed by a live demo that utilizes the Job Viewer within XDMoD to analyze various XSEDE jobs. The demo will be interactive - allowing ECSS staff to help guide the demo.

The XDMoD team is interested in collecting feedback on usability. David LaVergne is conducting one-on-one interviews with users regarding their use of the current interface (mainly the Usage and Metrics Explorer tabs, as well as the new Job Viewer tab). As user support folks, I'd like to know generally what information you find the most (and least) useful, and how well the current interface (and a proposed redesign) supports that. Please contact him if interested, a small gift is involved!
