ITS 285 - Diné Grid Design & Development

Institution:

Navajo Technical College

Subject:

Description:

This course teaches key concepts such as speedup, efficiency, and load balancing which are much more effectively done on a parallel platform. LittleFe is a complete 6 node Beowulf style portable computational cluster. LittleFe weighs less than 50 pounds, easily and safely travels via checked baggage on the airlines, and sets-up in 10 minutes wherever there is an 110V outlet and a wall to project an image on. By leveraging the Bootable Cluster CD project, and its associated curriculum modules, LittleFe makes it possible to have a powerful ready-to-run computational science and High Performance Computing educational platform. The development of Little Fe's is an integral component in the implementation of the Diné Grid.
