dc.description	Dana Brunson oversees the High Performance Computing Center at Oklahoma State University Before transitioning to High Performance Computing in the fall of 2007, she taught mathematics and served as systems administrator for the Mathematics department at OSU. She earned her Ph.D. in Numerical Analysis at the University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and her M.S. and B.S. in Mathematics from Oklahoma State University. Jeff Pummill is the Senior HPC Administrator for the Arkansas High Performance Computing Center at the University of Arkansas. Prior to his position at the UofA, he spent 13 years in the fields of mechanical design and structural analysis, while also maintaining a large number of Unix workstations and a small Linux clusters used for Finite Element Analysis. His current areas of interest include hardware architectures, resource managers, compilers, and benchmarking tools. He is also the TeraGrid Campus Champion for the University of Arkansas.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	BoF Abstract: This BoF is intended as an introduction to the many components that comprise clustered HPC systems; past, present, and a brief look at future trends. The presentation and accompanying discussion will address topics such as: what to look for in a vendor, how to choose hardware type(s), power and cooling issues, cluster software stacks, administrative tips and tricks, user support advice including scheduling policies and file management, and hopefully a lively debate at the end. This BoF is not intended to define what should and should not be deployed; rather, we will present a number of factors and considerations involved in deploying a successful cluster.	en_US
