My Proposal> This project consists of having
the students from the university build a Beowulf style cluster
> Can be done with available hardware
> There is a wide range of open source software for this.
> Implementation the basics of networking, and systems administration

The Background> Beowulf cluster> Built in 1994 by Thomas
Sterling and Donald Becker for the NASA.
> Named after an English poem.> A Beowulf cluster is a group of
what are normally identical, commercially available computers, which are running a Free and Open Source Software

Cluster> A computer cluster is a group
of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects forming a single computer.

HPC> High-performance computing
uses supercomputers and comp-uter clusters to solve advanced computation problems.

The Grid> Grid computing is a term
referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal.

The software> Message Passing Interface (MPI)
programming model;> Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM)
programming, execution, and debugging model;
> Parallel file system;> Tools to configure, schedule,
manage, and tune parallel applications;
> Higher level libraries.

The hardware> Switches> Cable> Cluster servers (these are the
ones doing all the processing)> Cluster head (scheduling tasks,
managing the whole cluster)> Host, user

NVidia Tesla Cards> High parallel capabilities> Low power consumption> Inexpensive compared to other
solutions

Programming> Students from UPBC can work
developing part of the software needed like Matsuoka Satoshi did with the TSUBAME grid.

Conclusion
> This cluster if ever done would be of great help as it would let us do research and make advances to the technology.
> Having this cluster is necessary if the university plans to grow bigger.
> Finally the project should be done by the students with supervision from the school teachers, or work side by side with the engineers of the project.
