My thought for a really interesting project would be to have a club of
ten or twelve kids in Center City build a Beowulf cluster from cast off
PCs in the school department with help from PLUG. Lots of learning,
huge potential, and puts a lot of computing power in the right hands.
In my dream picture, the project would use the unused cafeteria in the
Free Public Library main building -- great publicity for all parties,
good security so machines are safe, the library gets a slice of
mother-huge processing power, and the kids learn that libraries are
great places.
Just a thought .... (No, I've never built a cluster.)
