CCL

TCBG Cluster-Building Workshop

Nov. 30 - Dec. 1, 2007

An NIH-sponsored Workshop on Theoretical and Computational Biophysics
Room 5602 at The Beckman Institute, 405 N. Mathews Avenue, Urbana, IL

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Workshop/Cluster-2006.11/

This day and a half workshop will explore help users and system
administrators specify, design, build, and deploy PC Clusters running 
Linux, and even determine if a cluster is right for a specific application. 
Starting with a discussion of clustering basics, participants will actually 
build their own PC cluster and get to test out their own applications.

This workshop is aimed at systems administrators that want a greater 
understanding of cluster technologies, as well as those end-users that want 
to better understand the systems that they work on for their day-to-day 
work. A basic understanding of system administration techniques is assumed; 
basic knowledge and understanding of Unix systems is recommended, but 
not required. 

Application deadline for the workshop is November 6th. Participants 
will be notified of acceptance to the workshop by November 9th, and 
must confirm participation by November 13th or lose their place. 
If you are applying from out-of-state, and register by October 27th, 
we will attempt to inform you as to your status early.

Please note that we cannot help participants with travel costs or 
arrangements, or any other costs associated with attending the workshop.

If you wish to further discuss the issues from the workshop, we now 
offer a mailing list to discuss Linux computers for high-performance 
computing.  If you are interested in participating, you may sign up 
for the list at:
