[Beowulf] Working for DUG, new thead

[Lux, Jim (337K)]

Naahh. We should work to scare the whatevers out of him..

They’re going to ask about how you designed the adaptive equalizer in your last 10GEthernet ASIC.  What specific problems did you have modifying the NetGear FA310TX device driver to accommodate this change. Oh, and by the way, we need a polynomial time, scalable algorithm to solve the generalized knapsack problem. And, what *are* your opinions about temperature profiles in the reflow soldering process, vis a vis the formation of tin whiskers.

A look at the list archives from 2000 should do nicely.

Such a broad topic. I would assume things like DHCP, TFTP, Networking, PXE and IPMI which come to mind. Troubleshooting tools, configuration management, version control, monitoring, issue tracking and many other processes are at play. I would love to hear any interview questions which could cover this array of topics sanely.

Suggested question: Tell me the best hardware horror story?

Recruitment at DUG wants to call me about Low Level HPC. I have at least until 6pm.
I am excited but also terrified. My background is C and now JavaScript, mostly online course work and telnet MUDs.
Any suggestions are very much needed.
What must a "low level HPC" know on day 1???
