my first cluster: susquehanna
susuquehanna is the first beowulf cluster that i constructed. her 8 nodes are watching me in my office. each node is a cube pc, housing an athlon xp 2500 or 2600. it runs the rocks cluster software, which a version of centos/rhel specially configured for clusters. special thanks to chun-seng yip, who taught me the abc of pc building and helped me constructing susquehanna in mcneil bldg at midnight. you can feel the speed of susquehanna cluster by checking out the benchmark result in the slides for my recent lecture.
the basics of mpi
the mpi forum is an open group with representatives from many organizations that define and maintain the mpi standard.
mpich is a freely available, portable implementation of mpi. this site also has links to many sites that provide useful information.
