Walt, Dan, Nathan, Phil, Will, Dale, and Tim from the PARL attended
Supercomputing 2002 in Baltimore, Maryland. We manned a portion of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center booth. Demos of
Coven and
PVFS were given. Posters of our problem solving environment, reconfigurable computing, parallel file system, and metasceduler focus areas were on display.

On Tuesday, August 20, the PARL group held its first anual PARL Retreat at the Madren Center. PARL is now made up of five faculty members and dozens of students. The retreat was a great opportunity to meet everyone and learn about the various lab projects. We also identified several new areas of collaboration. Presentations were given by Dr. Stanzione, Dr. Ligon, Dr. Sass, Dr. Hoover, Nathan DeBardeleben, and Phil Carns on topics ranging from lab history to specific project summaries.
This page gives a summary of the event.

Our clusters are all listed on the right hand side. Most now have web sites. The majority of the clusters are developmental machines and testbeds but our
Mini-Grid consists of 528 processors spread between four clusters. Aetherwulf was delivered to Code 935 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on February 27th. A web page documenting the construction is
here. Travelwulf now has a web page as well,
here. Webwulf's web page has been brought back online as well
here.

Here is a photo of some of the PARL team at Supercomputing 2001. From left to right we see Dr. Dan Stanzione, Carel Lewis, Dr. Walt Ligon, and Keith Underwood. This is what our booth looked like at the conference. Notice the posters of problem solving environments, beowulf system software, and PVFS as well as live demos on those two obscured podiums.

PARL Appears at Supercomputing 2001 November 10 - 16, 2001
Many PARL students and faculty demonstrated high performance computing code at
Supercomputing 2001 in early November at the Denver Convention Center. PARL appeared as part of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center booth. PVFS, Coven, and CERSe were demonstrated live on travelwulf. Posters described this work as well as Balloc and the Clemson Mini-Grid. A paper on reconfigurable computing was presented as part of the conference by Keith Underwood. A paper as well as part of a tutorial was presented by a former PARL Ph.D. student, Dr. Robert Ross.
