LAIR - Location for Abstract and Innovative Resources. This is the name of the High-Performance Computing Lab being put together for the HPC and UNIX courses at CCC. Located down at the Business Development Center in room B003, we sport an Athlon cluster and a myriad of other machines to provide an adequate infrastructure and computing environment for exploration, learning, and collaboration.

BITS - Bunch of Interconnected Technology Stuff. The name being given to a collaboration forming between the LAIR @ CCC, the DSLAB @ SUNY Geneseo, and resources at SUNY IT. With three sites, each with different resources, we are aiming to provide individuals at all three institutions access to this combined computing potential, exploring problems and situations inherent to High-Performance Computing.

Armor Dynamics Project - During the summers of 2006 and 2007 I have been involved at SUNY Geneseo providing computer cluster support to the Physics group doing research on this project, enabled through a NYSTAR grant awarded to SUNY Geneseo, Alfred University, and Armor Dynamics, Inc. I've maintained a cluster environment to run MPP-DYNA (a cluster-aware application that is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating many complex real world problems). I've used this as an opportunity to experiment with virtualization and have written a job queuing system to aid the physics research group in submitting multiple jobs to be processed on the cluster.
