At MIT there are a few people working on a cluster designed to allow users to process data with software running on custom virtual machine images instead of directly installing the software on the nodes like a typical cluster. This is geared toward a flexible computing model via virtualization and the technology being used is called Openstack. I've installed GlueX software on a VM and deployed it on this cluster which has shown good results thus far (<5% different from running on "bare metal").
Reuse cluster (current) specs
- 22 Dell blades with 8 cores, 16 GB RAM, 100 GB disk
- Almost all hardware is recycled from other clusters through MIT's "reuse" program
