Hello Everyone! I've been playing with MATLAB and Octave for a while now to introduce my high school students (AP Computer Science and AP Calculus) to the world of Scientific Computing.
Our computer lab has just undergone a significant upgrade and my students are now interested in learning to program a cluster as well. We now have 25 dual-core 64-bit 2GHz athlons with 750MB RAM each and GigaBit switched ethernet LAN but we don't know what do do with all this new hardware! I stumbled upon Yi Qiang's talk about dSage and see that dSage can possibly fill our needs for both Scientific Computing and Cluster Programming. Can someone please help us get started with using Sage in general and dSage in particular? It sounds like this platform is easy to install and use. My first question is how does dSage parallelize code - is it MPI based or does it use some other paradigm? I've used the openMosix linux kernel in the past with some success, but MPI has always been a problem to set up on our LAN... Any help will be greatly appreciated! TIA, A.
