Description
High Energy Physics analysis is often performed on midrange computing clusters
(10-50 machines) in relatively small physics groups (3-10 physicists). Such
clusters are usually built from commodity equipment and are running under one
of several Linux flavors. In an enviornment of limited resources, it is
important to choose "right" cluster architecture to achieve maximum performance.
We will describe several cluster architectures, show possible drawbacks and how
to avoid them.
