"Plug-and-Play" Cluster Computing
High-Performance Computing for the Mainstream - "a must-read"
This article was published in the special Cluster Computing issue (Mar/Apr 2005) of
Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE),
a joint publication of
American Institute of Physics (AIP) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Dean Dauger and Viktor Decyk
describe the technology design of Mac clusters,
addressing why it was necessary to "reinvent" the cluster computer
and how it is meant to benefit users of parallel computing.

"Most Innovative" Award
At the IEEE Cluster Computing conference, Pooch won the award
"for most innovative commercial software". This was the last time
IEEE Cluster has given such an award.
|
A significant fact about this award is that, on the show floor,
all the other solutions were Linux-based solutions, and Pooch
was the only Macintosh-based solution. We believe it
says a lot when an IEEE committee looks past all the
other available solutions and points to Pooch as the
"most innovative".
