Chang-Yeong Choi, Jeong-Hyun Kim, and Seyong Kim
TL;DR
This paper presents a minimalist Linux cluster built with barebone PC components arranged in a 2D mesh, emphasizing reduced size, cost, and power consumption, along with practical experience and a lattice project application.
Contribution
It introduces a cost-effective, low-power Linux cluster design using barebone components arranged in a 2D mesh structure, with practical implementation insights.
Findings
Cluster has smaller footprint and lower cost
Power consumption is significantly reduced
Successful deployment of a lattice project on the cluster
Abstract
Using barebone PC components and NIC's, we construct a linux cluster which has 2-dimensional mesh structure. This cluster has smaller footprint, is less expensive, and use less power compared to conventional linux cluster. Here, we report our experience in building such a machine and discuss our current lattice project on the machine.
