About the TU Delft hpc clusters
Several research groups at the TU Delft have exclusive access to hpc (high performance computing) clusters that are managed and maintained bij the SSC ICT. Currently there are nine, they are typically named hpcXX.tudelft.net where the XX part is a number ranging from 03 to 12. The hpc clusters are Beowulf style clusters.
The purpose of this wiki is to guide new users, who have never used a Beowulf cluster before, into using these clusters. Beowulf clusters are typically made of a bunch common and identical computers or servers linked together in a network. This can be used to perform parallel computing tasks on a much larger scale than would be possible on a single workstation or a heavy duty server.
