Not really back in school, but it has been now more than one week that I started my new job at my old university in Esslingen at the beginning of December 2009. After only 11 months at my previous workplace (Matrix Vision) I am now working for the faculty of Information Technology.
I will be responsible for the setup and installation of the new cluster of the university. The cluster will be part of the bwGRiD and it will have around 1500 cores and is currently being installed. It is partly water-cooled and a few days ago the racks were delivered and installed. The cluster is from NEC and we are expecting the servers to be delivered in the next few days. The cluster will be running Scientific Linux.
I am now in the same building as my mirror server. This might be a good thing, because now I am much closer to the hardware and can act faster if something unexpected happens… It might also be a bad thing, because now I am much closer and can experiment with things I would not do if I was not in the same building.
