EPSCOR: Workshop: Linux Cluster Workshop

有一个在美国的科学家/研究人员谁是集群计算知识的需求越来越大，但是，有几个机会提供在地理位置偏远的地方，很容易获得这方面的知识。整个EPSCoR州的感兴趣的教师和研究生正在构建他们自己的集群-从小型（8个节点）到大型[128]学而不学，学而不学，学而不学。这是一个缓慢的过程。Linux集群研讨会将通过使计算科学家和工程师能够开发在Linux上实现最大性能和可伸缩性的应用程序来提高EPSCoR州的研究和开发竞争力各种规模的集群;系统管理员将了解与管理Linux群集以支持安全、可靠和高性能计算有关的问题。Linux群集的潜在用户将发现研讨会是对配置、获取和使用Linux群集的过程的详细而翔实的介绍。LCI技术材料强调了科学应用程序开发人员和系统管理员需要的信息，但在其他地方却找不到。这次研讨会将进一步推进由七个西部EPSCoR州组成的WESNet小组雄心勃勃的推广和教育工作，这些州一直在努力向EPSCoR研究人员介绍高性能集群计算活动。这将是最佳地利用我们国家的科学和工程人才，并在全国每个州建立优秀的研究和学习中心的又一步。在这些集群上接受培训的学生将为毕业后承担高性能计算中的计算科学家的角色做好更好的准备。Linux集群研讨会将在一个长期的过程中在不同的EPSCoR研究人员中促进高性能计算。长期的努力，以刺激新的合作和科学研究的机会。这些人的原籍国在获得新的研究资金和为私营部门活动提供智力和计算援助方面将更具竞争力。

There is an increasing need for scientists/researchers in the United States who are knowledgeable about cluster computing; however, there are few opportunities offered at geographically remote locations to acquire this knowledge easily. Interested faculty and graduate students throughout the EPSCoR states are building their own clusters--ranging from small (8 nodes) to large (128 nodes)--and teaching themselves as they proceed; this is a slow process.The Linux Cluster Workshop will increase the research and development competitiveness of EPSCoR states by enabling computational scientists and engineers todevelop applications that achieve maximum performance and scalability on Linux clusters of all sizes; system administrators will learn about issues related to the administration of Linux clusters in support of secure, reliable, and high-performance computing.Prospective users of Linux clusters will find the workshops to be a detailed and informative introduction to the process of configuring, acquiring, and using Linux clusters. LCI technical materials highlight the information that scientific application developers and systems administrators need but cannot readily find elsewhere.This workshop will further the ambitious outreach and education efforts of the WESNetgroup of seven western EPSCoR states that have been collaborating in an effort tointroduce EPSCoR researchers to high-performance cluster computing activities. This will be one more step to optimally exploit our national talent for science and engineering and develop excellent centers of research and learning in every state in the nation.Students trained on these clusters will be better prepared to assume the role ofcomputational scientists in high-performance computing upon graduation.The Linux Cluster workshop will promote high-performance computing among a diverse group of EPSCoR researchers in a long-term effort to stimulate new collaborations and scientific research opportunities. The home states of these individuals will be more competitive in terms of securing new research funding and providing intellectual and computational assistance to private sector activities.
