There will be two speakers this week, both from the Broad Institute,
discussing two different approaches to managing compute clusters.

  Wednesday, April 14th
  MIT E51-149

7:00 Introductions and announcements

7:30 Presentation: "Building 16 systems in 16 minutes with xCAT"

    Ali Tayarani will discuss how we use xCAT to manage several
hundred hosts in our general-purpose LSF-based compute cluster.

8:00 Presentation: "Redefining Compute Nodes and Provisioning"

    John Hanks will discuss his grand vision for the future (stateless
compute nodes managed with Perceus), exemplified by our new
genome-sequencing GridEngine cluster.
