ABC GNU/Linux

“Live, installable Linux distribution that communicates between
clusters of computers so that they can work in parallel

“Iker Castanos, a student of Technical Engineering in
Computerized Management at the University of the Basque Country
(UPV/EHU), has designed the very first live Linux distribution
that, initiated either from a DVD or by installation, communicates
between clusters of computers so that they can work in
parallel.

“Work on a nuclear fusion project to create cleaner energy took
Castanos into the world of clusters. Professors Izaskun Garrido and
Aitor Josu Garrido of the Advanced Control Group in the Department
of Systems Engineering and Automation at UPV/EHU approached
students looking for a volunteer to configure a cluster for their
project. They were using ASTRA and MATLAB code to simulate a
nuclear fusion reactor, and Castanos volunteered for the
project.”
