Cluster Computing

making a cluster out of 6 computers for abaqus analysis

 

Hi everybody,

I have 6 desktop computers with the following specifications (all of them are the same):

CPU: 2 GHz, 2 cores, 8 Hyper Threading

RAM: 12 Gb

HDD: 500 Gb

Windows 7 (which I need to change to Windows Server with HPC pack)

I need to connect them together and make a cluster for abaqus analysis. I'm thinking about using Microsoft HPC pack since it seems to be an easy and user friendly option (I don't have any experience in that area).

"Michigan Nano Computational Cluster” (MNC2)

The “Michigan Nano Computational Cluster” (MNC2) consists of 14 nodes.
Each compute node contains a hexa-core Intel Xeon X5660 processor
running at 2.66 GHz, 24 GB of memory. MNC2 contains 168 processing cores
linked with Gigabit ethernet, 12 TB of disk space.

 MNC2 currently hosts simulation tools for micro/nanoscale systems
including codes for first principles calculation, photonic devices,
molecular dynamics, multiphysics, and multiscale modeling.

The Cluster is free for use. Researchers interested in using the cluster,
