Inc, (www.osdgroup.com) and Scyld Computing Corporation (www.scyld.com) have
formed a strategic alliance to provide training programs for Beowulf clustering
technology.
The initial Scyld Beowulf training program focuses on installation, configuration
and administration of Beowulf clusters, said Richard Kuebler, VP of sales
and marketing for OSDgroup, an open-source training and custom courseware
development company. This multi-day course is designed for both users
and administrators who are either constructing or maintaining a cluster.
The direct involvement of the Scyld technical team also enables us to address
the needs of any level of support and training for Beowulf clusters of any
size or complexity.
Beowulf, and Beowulf clustering are terms that describe a technique of connecting
commodity computers together using a modified version of the Linux operating
system to create a High Performance Computer. Started in 1993 by Donald
Becker of Scyld Computer Corporation and Thomas Sterling, early development
was sponsored by NASA. In 1997 Beowulf clusters broke the ten billion
operations per second mark, and today can perform over 200 billion operations
per second. There are currently tens of thousands of Beowulf clusters
installed in government, educational and commercial facilities.
Beowulf clustering technology has established a firm foothold in many sectors
of government, research and corporate IT environments, said Scyld founder
and Chief Technical Officer, Donald Becker. As more agencies, institutions
and corporations build and implement Beowulf clusters, so grows the demand
for quality training programs. To meet this demand, Scyld has leveraged
its expertise in clustering technologies to develop Beowulf cluster training
programs that we will implement through OSDgroup.
