These recommendations are in regards to the LLNL Data Transfer Nodes (DTNs), which are used to transfer Climate Storage System (CSS) data between nodes of the ESGF grid. The hardware specifications listed are to be considered a base configuration for a node and can be enhanced in a variety of ways to suit a particular site.

Users of High Performance Computing (HPC) centers such as Livermore Computing have historically required expert knowledge of nearly every aspect of the computer center operation in order to take full advantage of the immense resources available. This knowledge takes months or more to develop and can make entering the world of HPC intimidating for new users.
Lorenz is a product of the ASC Scientific Data Management effort. Lorenz is a web-based application designed to help computer centers make information and resources more easily available to their users.
Lorenz is a project aimed at using modern web technologies to make High Performance Computing (HPC) easier. It has been under development at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory since the spring of 2010. Lorenz is tackling three broad areas: a system "dashboard" aimed at making information about the computing center easy to determine "at a glance", job management (submission and monitoring of batch jobs), and application portals which are loosely coupled pre- and post-processors to existing codes.
