Abstract
This paper describes the installation of a 3 node Linux based cluster for scientific
computation. The cluster entails a node as the master node and the other two nodes as
the compute nodes. The compute nodes are installed by a network based kickstart
installation system. Scientific packages such as compilers, mathematical libraries, Local
Area Multicomputer (LAM) package for Message Passing Interface (MPI), batch
processing and scheduling software are installed. The output of the Ganglia monitoring
package is shown. An mpi job is compiled and ran in order to test the application
packages.
