SUMMARY:HPC Systems Professionals Workshop (HPCSYSPROS18)
DESCRIPTION:cgroups py : Using Linux Control Groups and Systemd to Manage 
 CPU Time and Memory\n\nCgroups provide a mechanism to limit user andproces
 s resource consumption on Linux systems. This paper discusses cgroups_py, 
 a Python script that runs as a systemd service that dynamically throttles 
 users on shared resource systems, such as HPC cluster front-ends. This is 
 done using the cgroups kern...\n\n\nCurtis Maves (Purdue University)\n----

 guration management system.\n\n\nJason St. John (Purdue University)\n-----
 ----------------\nStateless Provisioning: Modern Practice in HPC\n\nWe out
 line a model for creating a continuous integration and continuous delivery
  work flow targeted at provisioning CPIO based initramfs images that are u
 sed to run computational work nodes in a bare metal cluster running RHEL o
 r CentOS.\n\n\nJohn Blaas (University of Colorado) and John Roberts (Argon

 etal and In-Container HPC Clusters Using OpenHPC playbooks\n\nIn this pape
 r, we present a toolbox of reusable Ansible roles and playbooks in order t
 o configure a cluster software environment described by the freely availab
 le OpenHPC recipes. They can be composed in order to deploy a robust and r
 eliable cluster environment, instilled with the best practice...\n\n\nJosh

 \nIntroduction - HPC Systems Professionals Workshop (HPCSYSPROS18)\n\nIn o
 rder to meet the demands of high performance computing (HPC) researchers, 
 large-scale computational and storage machines require many staff members 
 who design, install, and maintain these systems. These HPC systems profess
 ionals include system engineers, system administrators, network administra
