Here are some slides listing the capabilities and features of DAKOTA,

DAKOTA Introduction 1

With a Black-Box Interface, DAKOTA does not require access to the source code of an external application. It provides an interface by exchanging data from text files.

DAKOTA Introduction 2

DAKOTA contains many other features than those listed in the above slide, many new algorithms are added with each new version. e.g., addition of JEGA Algorithm which contains Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) and Single Objective Genetic Algorithm (SOGA) in version 3.3.

IMPORTANT SimpleCA Storage LOCATIONS

The private key of the CA is stored in /root/.globus/simpleCA//private/cakey.pem
The public CA certificate is stored in /root/.globus/simpleCA//cacert.pem

The distribution package built for this CA is stored in

/root/.globus/simpleCA//globus_simple_ca_74f9a25f_setup-0.18.tar.gz

This file must be distributed to any host wishing to request
certificates from this CA.

Just stopping by to say hello. Haven't been able to keep up with everything in the lab lately. Hope everything is going well. We'll have to grab lunch sometime soon!

Hi All,

The migration from CVS to subversion can be done by using the cvs2svn tool.
More documentation about this tool can be obtained here.
[http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/]

Also, a description of the command usage is mentioned at this URI.
[http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/svn2cvs.html]

Note: Have not yet experimented with installing the tool.

Thanks

After installing the new free VMware Server product I couldn't get the
vmware-mui-distrib tarball to install. It kept aborting with the message
"Failure" after saying it detected an previous install of vmware. Duh!, I
had put it there.

The previous install wasn't actually the problem though. I found the
[limited instrux for the new release|http://www.vmware.com/support/server/doc/releasenotes_server_beta.html#install]
and the said make sure libdb.so.3 is installed, which comes in the
compat-db rpm, btw. I installed it, still no luck.

Looking at the perl code it seemed to be looking for a previous install of

Need a server cert that has no password. Commands are:

(1) change directory into the grid-security directory: cd /etc/grid-security

(2) Generate the server key (with password): openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

(3) Generate certificate *without a password*: openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem

(4) Create CSR (Certificate Signing Request) to affirm that the server key is valid. The server.pem is used in place of server.key as we don’t require a password:
openssl req -new -key server.pem -out server.csr

The information you are about to be asked to enter information will be incorporated into your certificate request as the Distinguished Name or a DN of the signed cert. [ If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank ]

Hi,

In order to run linpack on medusa, the following steps need to be performed:
1> The atlas RPM's can be obtained from the following two sources:
a) Obtain the Source RPM from here:
http://nomis80.org/atlasrpm.html
Build the rpm using the instructions given on the page
b) Checkout fresh sources from the rocks CVS
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.rocksclusters.org:/home/cvs/CVSROOT
checkout -r ROCKS_4_1 rocks
2> If we have checked out the rocks sources the following are the
instructions to build the rpm
#cd rocks/src/roll/hpc/src/atlas/
