In the summer of 2001, Redbrick members built a Beowulf Linux Cluster for the School of Computing, DCU. We used 23 old lab computers that would have been thrown out, were granted access to a lab (LG28) in which to put it together for the month of July, experimented with a few different setups, and finally gave the school a system that was used for research in the "Modelling & Scientific Computing" Research Group.
CA4 projects using the cluster included analysis of digital video (cutting shots & scenes), and parallelisation of the QCL (Quantum Computing Language). Postgraduate research was conducted mostly on the analysis of biological data (DNA & protein sequences), but also on models of biological systems (immune system response, drug dissolution).
