Hi all,
As part of my dissertation, I'm looking for "raw data" which will be
used for massive parallel processing using Beuwulf cluster (with the use
of PVM or MPI). I tried looking for e-science raw data (and the
computations required on it) such as bioinformatics, fluid dynamics,
etc. but without any luck.
Anyone has any idea of getting some raw data so I can give compute
intensive "work" to the nodes?
Mitchell,
how about running the NIST Fire Dynamics simulation?
http://www.fire.nist.gov/fds/
It simulates the spread of smoke and fire in buildings.
There are some sample input models for download.
The Smokeview program visualizes the output, which will be a nice
demonstration for your tutor.
But why not just go across to the Oxford E-science centre?
I know for sure they have one cluster there for handling large datasets!
Ask them for help in getting a suitable dataset for your project.
Drop me an email if I can give you any advice, you're in my neck of the
woods.
