[Beowulf] Demo-cluster ideas

I am working with some people who built a big data type cluster using the same form factor boards.
I can put you in touch if you like!

Subject: [Beowulf] Demo-cluster ideas

We're in the process of developing a demo Beowulf cluster in the spirit of Tiny Titan (http://tinytitan.github.io/). However, the one we are working on is based on 10 Intel i7 small-form-factor boards with a fairly good per-core compute capability.

I'd be interested to hear if you have some ideas (or even pointers to code!) for demonstrating HPC concepts to the general public. Especially having an element of interactivity would be nice.

Couple of low-hanging fruits that we are already looking at are Blender/povray-rendering and porting the existing Tiny Titan codes.

Best regards,
Olli-Pekka
