  abstract =      {The goal of the presentation is to give an overview about how to build a commodity PC based GNU/Linux cluster for High Performance Computing (HPC) in a research environment. Due to the extreme flexibility of the GNU/Linux operating system and the large variety of hardware components, building a cluster for High Performance Computing (HPC) is still a challenge in many cases. At the Division of Intelligent Systems at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), we have build a 40 node HPC cluster for research purposes using the source-based GNU/Linux distribution Source Mage. We describe a methodology for designing and installing a highly customized GNU/Linux cluster. Different types of Linux distributions will be mentioned, binary-based and source-based, with their advantages and disadvantages. The presentation will focus on using SourceMage for HPC, specifying the "magical" ideas behind it: the ease of upgrading to the latest available version of the source code, a packaging system for keeping track of dependencies, optimized compiles for the hardware architecture used, easy integration of new packages, amongst others.}
