SUMMARY:Building a Low Budget Cluster Through Hardware Reuse
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nDiversity, Education, Workshop Reg Pass\n\nBuilding 
 a Low Budget Cluster Through Hardware Reuse\n\nEllsworth, Watson, Conger\n
 \nExploring parallel programming at the undergraduate level is difficult d
 ue to the limited availability of hardware exposing sufficient parallelism
 . While increasing core counts in consumer hardware is helping to address 
 this, core counts are still low, and system noise from desktop operating s
 ystems and background processes make performance measurement on student ow
 ned systems less than ideal. For short duration classes, the time needed o
 n production clusters to establish student accounts and queue waits per jo
 b submission are significant barriers to use. This poster discusses MCSCN,
  a small educational cluster, built using effectively free hardware to add
 ress these challenges at a small liberal arts university.
