Thanks for sharing this. I was recently asked for my input in a job description for a new position. They wanted to make the education requirements a minimum of a BS in Math, Physics, Engineering, or CS. I recommended that they DO NOT list any education requirements for this position, because mo

Re: [Beowulf] Introduction and question

Yes you belong! Welcome to the list. There's many different ways to run a cluster. But my recommendations: * Making the clusters as identical as possible. * setup ansible roles for head node, NAS, and compute node * avoid installing/fixing things with vi/apt-get/dpkg/yum/dnf, use ansible w
