The Horizontal Cluster!
(Original article here on my primary website: http://www.wbitt.com )
Note: This article is mainly addressed to the young IT generation of my home country, Pakistan. But, anyone from any part of the world can read this and benefit from it. The ultimate objective though is to do something useful for the world at large, without any classification, discrimination of nationality, gender, race or religion.
Salam to all,
In my previous article, “A supercomputer on every desk!” Videos released! , I pointed out that the how can you have a multi-node ‘virtual’ HPCC / Beowulfish cluster on your own desk. The videos released with this article showed how can you build one, by following simple steps and using open-source technologies.
After that, article, I received a lot of criticism and complaints. People mentioned (angrily) (to me), that it would be better if I can answer these questions first: (a) “What is a super computer/HPCC?”, (b) “What is the use of an HPC Cluster/Super-Computer?”, and (c) “Why should we bother?” . And I admit that is truly my fault. I should have explained them in the same article, before going on and trying to open my heart out on the Horizontal Cluster.
