The Cluster Agenda™
Taking clusters to the next level
Agenda (n): A list or program of things to be done or considered
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. The Cluster Agenda is an effort to catalog and identify the many separate components of the cluster community. We believe that, just like a cluster, when the components are properly assembled and understood, amazing things can be accomplished. The Agenda is intended to be a yearly snapshot of the community conversation that will help guide users, vendors, and new-comers to the next level of cluster computing.
As part of the community, you are invited to join this effort.
The Deliverable
Our goal is to produce a freely available document, called "The Cluster Agenda", which will be a road map of where we have been (best practices) and where we are going (cluster challenges). Used as a guide, the Agenda will benefit both existing and new cluster community members. The Agenda Initiative in not an effort to introduce standards or pick winners. It a document for the community by the community.
How You Can Contribute To The Conversation
We have prepared a minimal The Agenda Process that is designed to address the main topics of the community. The Framework process is incomplete however, because you have not told us what is important for your success. We invite you to read the invitations and questions, and review the process, then supply your input through this form. You may elect to get update email about the agenda as well by using the form.
The Cluster Agenda Working Committee
The current Working Committee is Jeff Layton, Glen Otero, Dan Stanzione, and Douglas Eadline. You may contact the Working committee through the submission form.
