Building your Personal Linux Cluster - User Manual
Dian Putrasahan, Henry Juang and Yunfei Zhang
Computing power is essential for conducting climate and weather research. While super-computing
facilities exist, availability to them are limited. Here, we provide an example on how you can build
your own cost and energy efficient, mini computer cluster to aid in your research. In addition,
we include the installation of an atmospheric model, the Regional (Mesoscale) Spectral Model
(RSM/MSM) and running it.
Hardware Requirements:
Mini PCs
Monitor
Keyboard and mouse
Router Hub
ethernet cables
Mini PC used: ”Zotac MAG Intel Atom N330, NVIDIA ION, 2 GB DDR2, 160 GB HD, eSATA,
HDMI HD-ND01-U Mini PC”. It is dual core but does not come with the OS, though compatible
with Linux.
To make the set up cost as low as possible, operating system, compilers and software programs are
all open source.
Software Requirements:
Linux Operating System (Fedora)
C compiler (gcc)
Fortarn90 compiler (gfortran)
MPI (mpich2)
For the purposes of this manual, the colors are coded as follows:
Red is for emphasis
Blue for commands in unix/linux environment
Blue and underlined indicate links to click on
Brown for website address
