The growth of cluster computing has been nurtured by a strong community of designers, users, and vendors. Current cluster technology however, is not without it's challenges. Issues such as best practices, standards, benchmarking, education, and third party software are often cited as "hold backs" to the continued growth of the market and increased sales.
Meeting these challenges as individuals is a daunting task. However, as a community, we have the ability to identify and address these issues. Cluster Monkey has teamed with community leaders as a first step toward advancing the cluster market.
Our goal is to produce a this site called "Cluster Tweaks", which will begin to address and document the needs of the community. Used as a guide or road map, Cluster Tweaks will benefit both the current cluster community and those who wish to enter the community (i.e. Industrial Users, Independent Software Vendors, and Others).
We expect the Cluster Tweaks to be the "go to document" for the entire cluster community. Cluster Tweaks will become a road map that details best practices and helps navigate the important choice points facing all users of cluster technology. It will also designate work in progress that will help meet community challenges. Cluster Tweaks will not be an attempt to standardize or pick winners.
Community, both user and vendor, input will be critical to the success of this initiative. Our goal is to include everyone and focus on what the community needs.
Cluster Tweaks will be freely available on-line and will not require registration.
Sponsoring the Agenda Sponsoring the Cluster Tweaks is quite simple. By sponsoring ClusterMonkey.net, you will also be sponsoring Cluster Tweaks. We have various sponsorship levels available. Please contact the Head Monkey for more information.
