This site contains the "web-based proceedings" of Summer Institute on Advanced Computation that focused on high- performance high-throughput Cluster Computing.

Summer Institute on Advanced Computation, August 20-23, 2000, Announcement and Schedule
Beowulf
- Beowulf is a software technology that bundles a network of homogenous Linux machines into behaving like a super computer. Beowulf FAQ
- www.beowulf.org The original site, now dull.
- Beowulf Underground "Unsanctioned and unfettered information on building and using Beowulf systems." Current events related to Beowulf.
- Extreme Linux Dedicated to take Linux beyond Beowulf into commodity cluster computing.
- Beowulf Clusters at Wright State: OSIS, MechE
Condor
- Project Homepage, www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/
- Frequently Asked Questions www.maf.wisc.edu/distributed/condor/
MPI
- MPI is everything that PVM is, and more. MPI is a library for message-passing primitives. Several implementations are available. www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/
- MPI Tutorials and Lab Exercises, www.tc.cornell.edu/Edu/Tutor/MPI/
PVM
- Parallel Virtual Machine combines a networked collection of Unix and/or NT computers into a single large parallel computer. The software is very portable running on everything from laptops to CRAYs. A "precursor" to MPI. www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html
- A Users' Guide and Tutorial for Networked Parallel Computing, on-line book, netlib2.cs.utk.edu/pvm3/book/pvm-book.html
Cluster Computing
- Cluster Computing: Linux Taken to the Extreme, http://research.esd.ornl.gov/ ~forrest/linux-magazine-1999/ Easy to read magazine article.
- Cluster Computing: the Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications, www.ece.arizona.edu/~hpdc/cluster/, also www.baltzer.nl/cluster/cluster.asp Archival refereed journal.
- Cluster Computing Software Links, http://www.rrz.uni-koeln.de/ themen/parallel/soft.html
Computational Grids
- "Grids are persistent environments that enable software applications to integrate instruments, displays, computational and information resources that are managed by diverse organizations in widespread locations."
