DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: LittleFe (http://LittleFe.net) is a reference design for a portable mini-cluster of multiple nodes, costing $2500 in total, whose primary focus is on turnkey classroom demonstrations of and exercises in High Performance Computing (HPC), parallel programming, and Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDESE), and secondarily as a production HPC resource for small institutions not yet able to afford or support a full scale cluster; in fact, LittleFe can be used as a gateway to and development platform for full scale HPC resources.=0A=0AStarting Sunday afternoon, and every morning and afternoon on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Communities booth on the 4th floor across from the Registration booth, two teams at a time will be building LittleFe units, which they'll then be able to take home with them for use as portable platforms for both teaching at their institutions and outreach to other institutions.
