[SLUG] Clusters and parallel programming group

["Carlo Sogono" <csogono@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Clusters and parallel programming group

Suddenly I've had this urge to do some parallel programming using MPI on Linux (either using the MPICH or LAM implementations) 'for fun'. Problem is I don't have access to multiple systems to act as clusters or nor the money to buy some. I was wondering if there were any SLUG'ers here with the same interests or who may want to form a small informal 'for fun' interest group in Sydney. I have a P3 computer to spare so maybe some of you can volunteer a place or a few computers. I do not intend to run high performance applications or attempt to brute force cryptogrpahic algorithms. Just wanna get a few interested folks to code, learn and make parallel applications for our personal entertainment...

I was thinking of something like a garage cluster group...nothing formal....we're not doing a PhD or anything...

Cheers,
Carlo
