This immensely useful book is ideal for organizations that have lots of data to crunch, but never thought they could afford supercomputing. As an introductory guide on high performance Linux clusters, this book discusses planning, hardware choices, bulk installation of Linux on multiple systems, and good practices for growing the cluster. It also covers the frameworks (like OSCAR and Rocks) and software that can save hours or even weeks of deployment time. Author Joseph Sloan discusses the pros and cons of major free software projects, and chooses the ones most likely to be helpful to new cluster administrators and programmers.
