Abstract

The LittleFe/BCCD Project is a combination of hardware, software, and curriculum to facilitate the inclusion of high-performance computing (HPC), data-enabled science (DES), and computational science (CS) education in high school, undergraduate, and graduate settings. The hardware is a six-node computational cluster whose parts cost $2800, easily assembled by students in a day, and small enough to be checked on an airline. The software is a Linux distribution called Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD) that will configure a HPC cluster in under five minutes. BCCD was created in conjunction with LittleFe, and continues to be maintained alongside LittleFe. The curriculum modules are written by faculty who use LittleFe in their classrooms and cover a wide range of topics. The combination of these three has proven to be very effective in delivering HPC, DES, and CS education in this environment.

little lefe和BCCD作为高性能计算的成功入口

litefe /BCCD项目是硬件、软件和课程的结合，以促进高性能计算(HPC)、数据支持科学(DES)和计算科学(CS)教育在高中、本科和研究生的设置。硬件是一个六节点计算集群，其部件价值2800美元，学生一天就能轻松组装好，而且体积小到可以在飞机上检查。该软件是一个名为Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD)的Linux发行版，可以在五分钟内配置一个HPC集群。BCCD是与little lefe一起创建的，并将继续与little lefe一起维护。课程模块由在课堂上使用littleffe的教师编写，涵盖了广泛的主题。事实证明，在这种环境下，这三者的结合在提供HPC、DES和CS教育方面非常有效。
