[LUGSB] Super Computing Cluster Challenge SC07

[Ilya Sukhanov (dotCOMmie)]

Hello all

We're looking for several undergraduates who would be interested in 
participating in the Super Computing Cluster Challenge SC07 [1]. Its a contest 
where we'd would build and tweak a small super computer (26Amp power limit and 1 
full 19" rack.)

This is a 3 day event (November 10-13) at which we'll get to run benchmark and 
see how our setup compares to setups of other teams. But this will require a lot 
of preparation (think weeks) of testing and tweaking software.

You'll get hands on experience with some of the latest hardware on the market. 
Its really a great way to represent our university .. and of course something to 
put on your resume.

This opportunity is open to undergrads who have experience with 
software/hardware. As of right now we have 2 definite team members and a couple 
of maybes, all in all, we're looking for 2-4 people.

If you are interested please contact me, Ilya (lugsb at sukhanov net). If you 
have general questions which might be interesting to other people, please reply 
in thread.

Best regards
-- Ilya S.
