High performance computing with MPI for uni. Probably shouldn't have left this one 'til the last minute.

This repository branch contains resources for my HPC module coursework.

Cluster Setup

1. Deploy Ubuntu instances and connect them to the network/internet.
   I used LXC containers via Proxmox VE.
   The head node should be called "node01".

2. Add all IP address & hostnames to /etc/hosts of every instance.

3. Copy init-scripts to each instance.

4. Depending on the role of the node, run either the head.sh or worker.sh script from the init-scripts folder as root. Both scripts will run common.sh, so make sure it's also present in the same folder.

5. All nodes will have a user hpc that all share a storage space on the head node as a home directory. Use this environment to build and run parallel programs.
