This is the value of building your own moderate scale cluster the first time..
Things like cable management take up a significant amount of time. And the
cluster gods (anti-Grendel?) help you if you have a single bad cable in the
rats nest to find.
You'll be a believer in color coding, number
Maybe do it wireless at around a 2800Mhz frequency instead of using
cables.
Then stack them all up in a 2nd hand microwave and invent the new
buzzword microwave supercomputing.

All,
Having seen the pictures of Simon's Raspberry Pi cluster at Southampton,
one thing that strikes me is how ugly all the cables make it look.
So how can this be improved - indeed is 'cable-free' possible?
- The network could be Wifi using micro adapters.
- USB Power could be at least daisy-cha
Eugen,
I am certainly interested !
I touched on the Gromacs port to ClearSpeed when I worked there - I then
went on to write the port of AMBER to CS

John,
Remember that Knight's Corner is an instance (cf IvyBridge) whereas Phi is

In the same way Kepler is an instance of Nvidia's Telsa line.
The technology was also known as MIC : pronounced 'Mick' or 'Mike'
depending on who you spoke to.
That was confusing - so with PH

Dear all,
really good advice here!
I would like to add something: For a smaller cluster and if you don't want to
use puppet, what I am doing is I am rsync the nodes from a local directory on
the headnode. That way I can update the software easily by simply adding it to
the node-directory on th
