Title: Design, Implementation, and Application of a High Performance Cluster

Abstract: This talk discusses a project involving design, implementation, and benchmarking a fully functional cluster available for use in a parallel algorithm class at St. Edward's University. A cluster is a group of computers connected by a network to solve a single computational problem that has the ability to provide supercomputing power at a fraction of the cost. We also discuss information about cluster-based benchmarking and application development. Additionally, the talk provides a departmental resource regarding the design and utilization of high performance cluster implemented by commodity hardware.
