By informing system administrators of congestion hot-spots, anomalies, and patterns in the interconnect traffic, HPE Slingshot AIOps empowers them to more rapidly detect potential issues, draw correlations, take preventive action, improve operations, and improve system workload and application performance. For HPC administrative staff, end users, and developers, the HPE Slingshot AIOps Software enables visibility into system and application operation and performance to improve the return on investment while reducing the day-to-day burden and costs of operating a complex system.

What’s New

• − Name change from HPE Cray Supercomputing Fabric AIOps Software to HPE Slingshot AIOPs Software
• − HPE Slingshot AIOps Software new version.

Job Summary Analysis

• – Monitor the status of all the jobs to get a broader view of what jobs are running on the cluster.
• – Synthesize and summarize jobs based on:

  • • Summary of Jobs completed, failed, jobs running and their runtime, queued
  • • Type of jobs failed (related to network, specific exit code patterns for jobs, jobs failed due to network)
  • • Cause of job failures
  • • Correlations between ports, switches and links for failed jobs (network capabilities, components, etc.
• – Summary of Resource Utilization

  • • Number of idle resources in a network
  • • Resources with jobs running (with runtime) in a network
  • • Resource requirements to run specific jobs in a network

Job Impact Visualization

• – Job-based correlations explaining what caused a job failure, to understand which ports, links, and switches have been impacted by the job failure
• – Visualize when a job isn't running and understand why that specific job isn't running
• – Nodes on which the jobs are running (important to understand what network is used)

Ability to use PBSPro for Job Data

• – Functionality to use PBSPro for Job Data in addition to Slurm

With HPE Slingshot AIOps Software, you can easily:

• – Visualize network utilization heat map, providing real-time insights into bandwidth and network activity levels.
• – Quickly identify and assess any network hotspots or bottlenecks
• – Monitor job failures and execution delays, enabling informed decisions on whether to terminate underperforming jobs
• – Toggle to isolate and view a specific job, providing detailed visibility into its traffic flow across the network
• – Drill down into a specific job and analyze overall network utilization, pinpointing the causes of congestion.
• – Identify usage patterns across bandwidth and congestion counters to uncover trends and potential bottlenecks.
• – Monitor the status of all jobs for a comprehensive view of active cluster jobs and their resource utilization
• – Receive job-based correlation insights that clarify the cause of job failures, detailing the affected ports, links, and switches
• – Summarize applications and identify the reason for failed applications
• – Single switch view to understand their impact on application failure

Supported Hardware

HPE Slingshot AIOps Software can be installed and used on HPE Slingshot interconnected systems.

Many factors including system scale, telemetry data sampling rate, telemetry data retention period etc. must be considered in sizing and defining the hardware required to support HPE Slingshot Software. Please work with the HPE Slingshot Product Management team to develop system specific hardware requirements.
