LUNA-C stands for Large Universal Network Array of Computers and it was a project started back in August 2017 to introduce a cluster computing system to the University. I started this project in response to a want for more computing power to help with the Physics research I was doing at the time.
|
|
Dr. Maia Magrakvalidze was the faculty sponsor for this project.
|
|
|
|
One of the Physics labs at the time were getting their computers upgraded
|
|
and the old computers were going to be surplussed. I along with Carlos
|
|
Ramirez and Clare Arrington convinced them to let us use the surplussed
|
|
computers for a Beowulf cluster. We wrote a grant proposal to acquire
|
|
hardware upgrades (RAM, SSDs, etc.) for the computers. Later on,
|
|
Stefano Cornonado joined the project.
