Building Linux cluster for mechanical engineering software

Hello everybody,

I'm new here in the forum and first i will greet everybody.

Also I'm new with the issue of HPC, but I have to inform my urgently.


My issue:
I'm a mechanical engineer, specialised on simulation like fluid dynamics (CFD) and FEM. Especially I'm programming software for this case.

Everyone who knows CFD, knows already which resources such a simulation needs. In the past I worked on a workstation (Dual-Core Xeon E5), but now I have to build a cluster, especially which can manage the jobs in different queues.

My requirements:
- It should be a linux cluster
- I want to build a cluster with some (for the beginning two) dual-core xeon servers, more machines will follow soon.
- For the special software tools (Ansys CFD) a clone of rhel 6.3 (scientific linux 6.5 is already working) is necesarry.
- For the user GUIs (meshing for CFD or monitor the simulation) a X-Server, which is available by rdp or/and NX, is needed
- For the software I build on my own, I will take experience with GPGPU- and MPI - Programming (not so important, this issue can wait)

I think that are the important values for the Cluster. For that issue I had searched a long time, but I don't found many information about hpc-cluster building and I don't found good literature therefor.

Because of that my questions:
- Are there a good HowTo to build those cluster ?
- Which (special) hardware do I need ?
- Which software do I need for all that (user administration, parallel filesystem, batch system to manage the jobs, cluster-monitoring, MPI, ...) ?
- Can I use only open-source software ?
- Should I use a VM with another linux as base?

I know these are many questions, but I don't find another way and the time is running out.

I'm very happy about every helpful answer. I want to thank you in advance!!

ghi command [arguments] [options] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ghi command. ghi is a command-line interface to the GitHub Issues API. It can be used to access all of GitHub's documented Issues API (v2) functionality from the command line: open, close and manipulate issues. If no command is given, the default action is list. If a number is given instead, the default action is show. COMMANDS
list [ -s open|closed|all ] Show open, closed or all issues (choose with -s, see below). Default is open. show number Show issue number. This command can be invoked also as ghi <number>. open [ number ], o [ number ] Create a new issue, and launch $EDITOR. If number is given, reopens that issue. open -m message, o -m message Create a new issue with message content (optionally, use for new lines; first line will be the issue title). close number, c number Closes issue number. edit number, e number Edit issue number with $EDITOR. label add|remove label number Add or remove label to/from issue number. You can use al or rl instead of, respectively, label add and label remove. search term, s term Search for term. comment number, m number Create a comment for issue number (with $EDITOR). OPTIONS
-h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --verbose Show issue details (only for show, list and search commands). Default is false. -V, --version Show program's version number and exit. -s STATE, --state=STATE Specify state (only for list and search (except "all") commands). Choices are: open (o), closed (c), all (a). Default is open. -r REPO, --repo=REPO, --repository=REPO Specify a repository. The format: "user/repo" or just "repo" (latter will get the user from the global git config). -w, --web, --webbrowser Show issue(s) GitHub page in web browser (only for list and show commands).
