Installation of a PC cluster at an Investigator's home site

Install a Linux cluster at NASA/GSFC, consisting of two "queen" nodes and at least 192 "compute" nodes connected by at least fast ethernet. The queen nodes will support control and I/O functions and consist of dual 1.5 GHz processors, 4 GB RAM, and 2 TB storage or better. The compute nodes will support computations and consist of single 1.2 GHZ processors, 512 MB RAM, and 80 GB storage or better. We anticipate gigabit connections between the compute node switches and the queen nodes as well as between the queen nodes and the GSFC network.
