[H-GEN] Linux and high-performance computing

[Benjamin Fowler]

Hello,

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might get familiar with modern
high-performance computing architectures?

The reason why I'm asking, is that I'm working my way slowly though a
physics degree and I'm starting to think about how I might apply my coding
skills to large and interesting problems -- which suggests that I might
need to get up to speed on working on software that executes on machines
with very large numbers of cores, strange (e.g. NUMA) architectures,
message-passing, and what not....

Any suggestions on where I might start to get up to speed, to get the "lie
of the land" and start exploring the subject? Does anybody have any recent
(e.g. in the last 5 years) experience with doing said development at home
(e.g. what we used to call "Beowulf")?

Cheers, Ben.
