ClusterMonkey: Back by popular demand, the ARC at Georgetown University has for some strange reason decided to offer my Intermediate Beowulf Administration and Optimization course for a second time this March (18th-20th). The details and background are on the ARC HPC Training Page. Class size is limited, so if you have interest, sign up early. Course description is below. Excellent donuts.
Intermediate Beowulf Administration and Optimization
Overview:
Clusters are powerful computing devices. Often times, however, translating raw
processor and network performance into real application performance is not a
simple "plug-and-play" proposition. Indeed, clusters have a certain level of
latent performance that often goes unused. The goal of this course will be to
provide system administrators and users with tools to ensure that their
cluster(s) are running at their fullest potential. Emphasis will be placed on
issues which can be be quickly and easily adjusted by the system administrator.
