| - | DESCRIPTION: We are going to use old ACCC P4 machines to create a computing cluster. | + | DESCRIPTION: ACCC P4 machines have been networked together in a commodity (Beowulf) computing cluster. |
| - | PURPOSE: The foremost goal of building the cluster is going to be the experience of putting together a working computing cluster. How it can be deployed (for what practical computing purposes) remains to be determined, but we have been assured by Prof. Theys that a use can be found. | + | PURPOSE: The experience of building, maintaining, and utilizing a working computing cluster - including (but not limited to): netbooting, networking, MPI, parallelization of algorithms, UNIX, etc. |

| - | DESCRIPTION: Prof. Theys has CUDA-capable graphics cards he is willing to donate to ACM-Sigbuild, and we are looking to purchase the components surrounding these cards that would constitute a working CUDA machine. | + | DESCRIPTION: The CUDA machine is a PC built with 4 high-end NVIDIA graphics cards installed. The goal is to harness tremendous computational power of these GPUs to do parallel computing. |
| - | PURPOSE: This will enable computer science students to learn CUDA programming. | + | PURPOSE: This project serves as a platform for computer science students at UIC to learn about parallel programming and GPU computing. |

| PURPOSE: //Josh Herman// - The Chicago-01 supercomputer project is a research oriented supercomputer. Its primary goals are to investigate the following: Run code such as PHCPack (the implementation of polynomial homotopies exploiting structure in order to better approximate all isolated solutions) or basically find an optimal solution for hard polynominal systems. Another goal is to perform research on a novel network architecture utilizing artin braid groups as a algebra of networks. This will allow for the addition and subtraction of nodes in the network to be topologically invariant by the use of concatenation of the artin braid group. The last goal is to explore the use of GPU and possibly reconfigurable computing architectures like FPGA gates for the optimization of tasks on the supercomputer. | PURPOSE: //Josh Herman// - The Chicago-01 supercomputer project is a research oriented supercomputer.

| + | |||
| + | DESCRIPTION: The EVL (Electronic Visualization Labratory) donated a monitor wall, containing 30 monitors, to SIG-Build. The entire SIG has given input on this project to get the monitors synced and running. | ||
| + | |||
| + | PURPOSE: To have a fully functioning monitor wall for the Computer Science department at UIC to use and practice/apply SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment) programming on. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Andrew Sennebogen Currently has installed Ubuntu Linux on all servers with help form Walter Dworak. Currently we ran into a prablem: 4 video cards have single inputs when the monitor wall requires two input capability. Projected completion time: mid-Febuary | ||
