Cluster-Building Workshop

Cluster assembly at a prior workshop

This day and a half workshop will explore help users and system administrators specify, design, build, and deploy PC Clusters running Linux, and even determine if a cluster is right for a specific application. Starting with a discussion of clustering basics, participants will actually build their own PC cluster and get to test out their own applications

This workshop is aimed at systems administrators that want a greater understanding of cluster technologies, as well as those end-users that want to better understand the systems that they work on for their day-to-day work. A basic understanding of system administration techniques is assumed; basic knowledge and understanding of Unix systems is recommended, but not required. Enrollment limited to 24 participants; application dates are listed below.
