Hi! The fellowship of supercomputing maniacs met this sunday at Raju's palce. The minutes (seconds to be precise) are printed in the following lines.
===================<minutes>========================== the meet begin after waitng a while for Mr. Niyam (LL) Bhushan, who as usual confirmed a day before to Raju that he won't be coming. We started, by Raj trying out the flashmob iso brought by Anindya. Flashmob iso achived 0.4 something GFlops on Raju's Laptop. Folowing this trial Raj dictated 21 questions to be answered during the discussion (we failed to answer even one question). As volunteers for location were missing except for Anindya from PCQuest, we decided CMIL as tentative venue to conduct the flashmob computing. The discussion revolved around 21 questions (written in detail at the end on minues). During the discussion we decided to go for lunch, so the fellowship went to a kerla restaurant and had couple of kerla dishes (names not understood by me). The discussion continued on the lunch table. At the end of the lunch session following conclusions were drawn 1) Try out a prototype to check the feasability of the project. 2) Shejar and Anindya will try out flashmob iso 3) Vivek (Vk) the weired will try to make an iso which will allow nodes to download image from the main server, and experiment with the feasability of such iso. 4) Vk, Anindya, shejar and manpreet(against his wishes) will meet at PCQ office this sunday (18th April) at 8 in the morning to check the feasability. The results of this test will be declared at the following ilugd meet same day. (At okhla venue) 5)if project is feasable discussion will take place at ilugd meet to decide the future course of action. ==================</minutes>======================== ======================<21 question>================== 1) how many Cds we need 2) How many floppies we need 3)how many power points are required 4)how many ethernet points are required 5)How to arrange backup power 6)how much colling we need 7)how much physical space is required 8) number of admins required 9) what skills do admins need to have 10)what chipset shall be supported 11) what kind of network and network speed is required (10 or 100 mbps) 12) what applications we can run apart from LINPACK 13) What kind of master node(s) we need 14) what are the requirements of master node 15)how many master nodes we will need 16)what sort of reports shall be generated for benchmarking 17)Time required 18) how to verify results 19)MONEY?? from where the finance for the project will come 20) do we need internet connection at the venue 21) what volunteers will get in return =========================</21 questions>============= Regards Vk ===== Disclamer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
