Cluster Documentation Project™

Cdp logo 1.png


Computational Clusters have grown from a back room curiosity to a driving force in the HPC community. The roll your own nature of cluster computing has also created a wide community of users, vendors, and applications. The Cluster Documentation Project (CDP) is an effort to help document best practices, tutorials, projects, benchmarks, products, and anything else that helps facilitate HPC cluster computing.

Note: The Cluster Agenda and Cluster Tweaks are transforming into the Cluster Documentation Project

Project Scope

The word cluster has many meanings. The Cluster Documentation Project is designed to document and professionally publish High Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster information. The focus will be on tutorial and how-to information rather than theoretical aspects of HPC. Currently there are Cluster Topics which is a compendium of current benchmarks, products, technologies, methods, best practices, etc. that will help those interested in clustering. When funded the project will enhance this resource.

Writers and Contributors

Contributions are accepted from the community -- both users and vendors. All content is subject to approval by the editors and critical content will be created with paid experienced writers.

Questions

If you have specific questions about clusters please visit our Cluster Questions section and enter your question.

If you have questions about this site, please contact Douglas Eadline or Jeff Layton with any questions.

History

ClusterWorld magazine was the initial sponsor of a site called The Cluster Agenda. When ClusterWorld Magazine ceased publication the Agenda effort was stopped. Douglas Eadline, editor of ClusterWorld magazine, was the principle organizer of the Agenda effort and has decided with the help of Jeff Layton to preserve some of the content from the Agenda and morph the site into Cluster Tweaks. The original Agenda Working Committee was Jeff Layton, Glen Otero, Dan Stanzione, and Douglas Eadline.
