Cluster Tweaks™
Note: The Cluster Agenda is changing to Cluster Tweaks
Taking clusters to the next level
Tweak (v): to adjust or modify slightly, so as to improve performance, efficiency, etc.; fine-tune
Computational Clusters have grown from a back room curiosity to a driving force in the HPC community. The roll your own nature of cluster computing has also created a wide community of users, vendors, and applications. Cluster Tweaks is an effort to help track ideas, notes, projects, benchmarks, products, and anything else that helps facilitate HPC cluster computing. A more formal presentation of HPC cluster topics can be found at Cluster Monkey.
Cluster Tweaks is a Wiki and allows registered users the ability to make changes to the site. (Some of the main pages are locked, however). We require a valid email address to limit article spamming.
Project Scope
The word cluster has many meanings. The Cluster Agenda is clearly focused on computational or High Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters. Cluster Tweaks is a place where tricks, tips, how-to's, benchmarks, notes, experiences etc can be recorded and shared with the community.
There are two main components:
- The Catagories - a compendium of current benchmarks, products, technologies, methods, best practices, etc. that will help those interested in clustering.
- Cluster Challenges - a collection of user identified challenges that need special focus from the community. If you have an interest in addressing these issues, please feel free to contribute your opinion.
