Welcome to Pegasus II Linux Cluster! 
 |
Pegasus II cluster is a self-made Linux PC cluster designed and
built by Thomas Vojta's
research group at the Department of Physics
, Missouri University of Science & Technology.
|
| |
Pegasus II cluster is used for computational
research in condensed matter
and statistical physics as well as for education activities in computational science.
|
| |
Pegasus II cluster is supported by the National Science Foundation,
by Research Corporation, and by the UM Research Board.
|
The purpose of this website is twofold: (i) For new group
members, it provides basic information on how to get started using the cluster.
(ii) It describes the cluster design and main steps of the installation. We hope
that this information will be useful for someone who wants to build a similar diskless Linux cluster.

experiences and share some of the problems we've faced while building the
Pegasus II Cluster. No guarantee is given that by solely

diskless Linux cluster. Nonetheless, we hope you'll find at least
some of the material useful. Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
