Beowulf Cluster Computing
Beowulf Cluster ComputingSample Cluster Computer CLUSTER USES: Clusters have a variety of different applications in the world. They are used in bioinformatics to run DNA string matching algorithms or to run protein folding applications. Geologists also use clusters to emulate and predict earthquakes and model the interior of the Earth and sea floor Clusters are even used to render and manipulate high-resolution graphics in engineering. Our completed Beowulf cluster will use a computer algorithm known as BLAST,(Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), to analyze massive sets of DNA sequences for research into Bioinformatics. Researcher: Ben Case Researcher: Stephen Ciesla Advisor: Ed Harcout Biology Consultant: Lorraine Olendzenski PROJECT: We constructed a parallel processing computer system using the Beowulf cluster computing design created at NASA in an attempt to build a powerful computer that could assist in Bioinformatics research and data analysis. BEOWULF CLUSTERS: A Beowulf Cluster is a computer design that uses parallel processing across multiple computers to create cheap and powerful supercomputers. A Beowulf Cluster in practice is usually a collection of generic computers, either stock systems or wholesale parts purchased independently and assembled, connected through an internal network. A cluster has two types of computers, a master computer, and node computers. When a large problem or set of data is given to a Beowulf cluster, the master computer ... |

Using science fiction to teach science, fiction, and communications skills Daniel W. Koon, Jonathan Gottschall St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY 13617, USA dkoon@stlawu.edu
Using science fiction to teach science, fiction, and communications skills Daniel W. Koon, Jonathan Gottschall St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY 13617, USA dkoon@stlawu.eduThe two courses “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and “To Boldly Go” form a year-long sequence of a science-fiction-based section of St. Lawrence University’s First-Year Program [FYP]. The FYP is a yearlong course required of all entering students, which teaches communications skills in a team-taught, multidisciplinary setting. The course allows the instructor to teach science -- from paleoanthropology to astronomy -- and fiction -- from Robert Heinlein to Philip K. Dick -- in the context of a general education course in formal written composition, oral presentation and academic research. |

The nonlinear effect of resistive inhomogeneities on van der Pauw measurements Daniel W. Koon St. Lawrence University Canton, NY The “resistive weighting function”, f(x,y) [1], predicts the impact of local macroscopic inhomogeneities on van der Pauw resistivity measurements in the small-perturbation limit, assuming such effects to be linear. This talk will describe deviations from linearity for a square van der Pauw geometry, using an 11x11 grid network model of discrete resistors, and covering both positive and negative perturbations spanning two orders of magnitude in dr/r. The empirical expression
provides a good fit over the entire range of both positive and negative changes in local resistivity.
