QUEEN'S HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING CLUB
Learn Linux.
Build clusters.
A Queen's student club exploring how computing systems work — through workshops, a five-board Raspberry Pi lab, and cluster competition preparation.
CURRENT PROJECT · FIVE-BOARD RASPBERRY PI CLUSTER
Our cluster, built from the hardware up.
Members assembled a five-board Raspberry Pi rack with removable trays and a vertically mounted eight-port Ethernet switch. We're configuring it for Linux, networking and introductory cluster workshops.
Explore the rack in 3D or open photographs of the real build. The hardware is assembled; workshop software and exercises are still being developed.

OTHER WAYS TO TAKE PART
Start with a workshop. Go further with a team.
Not every member needs to work on the Pi rack. Here are two other concrete ways to get involved.
Prepare for ISC27
QHPC is preparing Student Cluster Competition applications. Members are learning how to run and optimize HPC workloads; team selection is pending.
