What kind of cluster? There are two main types;
1. High-Availability (HA)
2. High-Performance Computing (HPC)
There is also 'Load Balancing', which is a form of HPC. In the HA space, it's
faily easy to write tutorials as a given config can more or less be applied
to numerous use-cases. In the HPC/LB world, it really comes down to the
problem you're trying to solve.
I'm more interested in high performance.
I'm a forensic pathologist, but my background is also in image processing and image analysis. When
I was in the military, I mostly did image analysis on cases of national interest. People would
give me imagery of beheadings, executions, torture, hostage photos, mass killings, etc. and I would
evaluate the imagery to see what was there from a forensic pathology perspective. For those of you
in the US who watch NCIS, I had "Ducky's" job (though the NCIS doesn't have it's own ME;
there's an "Armed Forced Medical Examiner Service" that all federal cases needing that
kind of evaluation are referred to).
Not to show my age, but if you are interested, here's a couple of cases that
were not classified and were published:
Oliver WR, Baker AM, Powell JD, Cotone CM, Meeker J. Estimation of body
exposure to explosion. Am J Forensic Med Pathol. 2002 Sep;23(3):252-6.
Oliver WR, Boxwala A, Rosenman J, Cullip T, Symon J, Wagner G.
Three-dimensional visualization and image processing in the evaluation of
patterned injuries. The AFIP/UNC experience in the Rodney King case. Am J
Forensic Med Pathol. 1997 Mar;18(1):1-10.
It's pretty primitive looking back on it, but it was a some years ago I
published these.
Anyway, while my civilian job is more traditional death investigation, I still
do a fair amount of image analysis for clients as a private sideline. So, I'm
interested in doing stuff like image manipulation in frequency space, wavelet
decomposition, etc. of large numbers of images.
Also, I'm interested in setting up a neural network to help me with my fantasy
baseball picks :-).
