Yesterday I and the other members of the cluster team did presentations on the ANDC cluster before an audience of teachers and students, mainly from the CS department of our college. The presentations were in the larger context of a 3-day workshop on GNU/Linux organised by our college. We were visited by Mr Amit Karpe and Mr. Dnyanraj Mali of Ascellent Technologies and Mr Niyam Bhushan, who has to be seen to be believed.
Dr Chauhan’s presentation was an overview of various clustering technologies, types and implementations. After that, Animesh and Ankit presented on the history of our (make-believe) cluster.
My presentation was on (parallel) programming the cluster before teachers and students in the college. Sadly, the presentation didn’t go to well, and quite a few people left in the middle of it. Also I could not talk about MapReduce and some more hardcore examples.
I’m still satisfied and happy, though, because I was able to learn a lot, from this, and that was the reason I got into this in the first place.
In case you (?) are interested, you can see the presentation here. Note that my presentation used the awesome Augie font by some guy. If you find some factual errors there, please comment.
I must mention the other presentations, by Vedant, xAbhishek and Priyanka. Nice to see enthusiasm from the nextgen :’-)
