Servers students can configure
One or two usable multicore servers, donated or loaned, would let members install and manage a small Slurm/MPI cluster. Surplus machines without drives may still be useful.

SPONSORSHIP AND PARTNERSHIPS
QHPC runs technical learning activities and is building a five-board Raspberry Pi lab. We're looking for equipment, expertise and funding that members can put to use directly.
WHAT WOULD HELP NOW
One or two usable multicore servers, donated or loaned, would let members install and manage a small Slurm/MPI cluster. Surplus machines without drives may still be useful.
Spare 1/10GbE switches, NICs and compatible cabling would support local cluster experiments. We already have an eight-port switch for the Pi lab.
HPC and infrastructure engineers can help with a guest workshop, project feedback or guidance on cluster setup and benchmarking.
Support for training, computing equipment and, if selected, travel for one six-student onsite team and an advisor to Hamburg.
WHY THE SUPPORT MATTERS
Members can use Queen's shared research-computing resources where authorized. Our hardware request is different: we want equipment students can configure, break, troubleshoot and rebuild themselves.
HOW A PARTNERSHIP WORKS
We can discuss equipment requirements, workshop topics, event participation and appropriate public recognition. Any deliverables and acknowledgement are agreed with each partner; no fixed tier or audience size is promised.
