Cluster Acquisition for Communications Optimization and Computational Steering

Paul Farrell and Arden Ruttan
Dept. of Math and Computer Science
Kent State University

Summary
The Intel Cluster will be used to investigate issues related to increasing the efficiency of point-to-point and collective communication on distributed clusters consisting of SMP nodes connected by high speed networks such as Myrinet, Giganet, and Gigabit Ethernet. It will also be used in the development of an environment for interacting with and steering large scale scientific computation running on clusters.
