| Abstract | A computer cluster is a flexible, inexpensive and simple way to construct an architecture for developing and deploying parallel programs. This paper describes the construction of a cluster at ANDC using discarded hardware and a suite of free software. It describes how it enabled students to learn about an interesting field which wasn't part of the normal educational setup at DU in a hands-on approach, something which would have been impossible othewise. Further, it gave students a sense of appreciation free software philosophy and convinced them of it's superiority over the closed "black-box" approach adopted by proprietary softwares. It is felt that the free culture can and should be adopted by other fields, particularly education. |
