Summary:

An overview of how to build a Raspberry Pi supercomputer

Abstract:

Federico discusses what is required to integrate clusters of ARM SBCs, 
with a focus on Raspberry PI units due to their popularity; the software 
integration necessary to make them practical, what is necessary to 
easily configure nodes, and issue commands for system operation; and 
conclude with integrated numerical applications using the MPI interface.

Natalia discusses the Raspberry Pi cluster that she runs at Boston 
University.

Kurt discusses the latest from the 2019 meeting of the International 
Conference for High Performance Computing Networking, Storage, and 
Analysis (SC19), including the status of the LANL cluster.

SC19 runs from Sunay, November 17 to Friday, November 22, 2019.

Parking:
On-Campus Free Parking (These parking lots are free after 5pm)

The Amherst Street/E51 parking lot is the best parking option. It
probably will have plenty of spaces. During the school year the lot
tends to be full, but tends to clear out after 6:30 or 7PM.


Due to the never-ending construction, Sloan's Hermann Garage is only
accessible via Main Street. It is a small garage without a gate, and
directly under the Sloan library.

All other MIT lots require permits after hours.

The closest public parking
is Kendall Center Green Garage, next to the Marriott Hotel. The entrance is
90 Broadway Street. For other parking options, see
http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html


All Cambridge parking meters use Passport by Phone:

This is active on all Cambridge metered parking spaces. Meters are free
after 8PM
