In Search of Clusters for High Performance Computing Education

Overview This paper examines the issue of High-Performance Computing (HPC) platforms in undergraduate education and the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD) to facilitate hands-on, classroom immersion in HPC topics. There is a measurable benefit derived from teaching HPC topics through providing hands-on clustering experience to the students. Supporting an HPC environment for instruction, however, is accompanied by the commensurate demand in administrative tasks associated with staffing costs or personnel to maintain a dedicated high-performance computing environment - from maintenance of user accounts and configuring software components, to keeping ahead of the latest security advisories.
