Re: [Beowulf] [EXTERNAL] Re: Have machine, will compute: ESXi or bare metal?

Thanks for the pointers, Jim! I had this fear that there wasn't something I was understanding with zeroconf addressing so it's good to know that other people have had similar ideas. :) With BCCD, we have a huge variety of NICs that we've supported over the years, and even have had people run clust

Re: [Beowulf] HPC for community college?

This was basically our intent with the LittleFe project[1] as well: a lot of small institutions don't have the facilities or the expertise to run a supercomputer, but they have students and faculty that would really benefit from being able to learn the basics of parallel computing and HPC if only t

Re: [Beowulf] HPC for community college?

You could make it a really personal experience. This looks like a fun board to cluster a bunch of Raspberry Pi's https://turingpi.com/ or https://www.mininodes.com/product/5-node-raspberry-pi-3-com-carrier-board/ That way the students could take their projects home with them. In class they cou

Re: [Beowulf] [EXTERNAL] HPC for community college?

I would think so. If nothing else, there’s stuff you learn that will be usable in other places: 1. The whole process of bringing up a cluster and getting all the tools to work – it’s a learning exercise in itself, and a bit out of the usual “sysadmin a bunch of Windows users” 2. Once you’v

Re: [Beowulf] [External] HPC for community college?

It depends on how ambitious that community college is when it comes to preparing its science students for 4-year schools! I'd say yes! On 2/19/20 2:46 PM, Mark Kosmowski wrote: Is there a role for a modest HPC cluster at the community college? ___

Re: [Beowulf] HPC for community college?

I don't see why not! Compute is definitely useful at small (liberal arts) schools , and I am +1 if there can't be a full fledged cluster, XSEDE to the rescue! On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 12:59 PM Benson Muite wrote: > YES! Though national infrastructur

Re: [Beowulf] HPC for community college?

YES! Though national infrastructures such as XSEDE may be easier to sustain and for community colleges to use. On Wed, Feb 19, 2020, at 10:46 PM, Mark Kosmowski wrote: > Is there a role for a modest HPC cluster at the community college? > ___ > Beowul
