Linux software tools
- Cluster provisioning software, including alternatives such as Rocks — Rocks <http://www.rocksclusters.org http://www.rocksclusters.org> is used by CAC and Cornell’s Computer Sciences dept (with CU AD). We instead use warewulf, with torque and maui.
- Puppet, a configuration management tool — Configuration management tool to facilitate managing our (Linux) cluster head nodes, other Linux servers, and our Linux desktops. Works with other OSes (MacOS, Windows), but we'll first focus on Linux.
- Screen and tmux — Terminal multiplexers can manage multiple shell instances, or "windows," at the same time within a single session. They allow the user to detach and reattach terminal sessions, leaving any shells and their subprocesses managed by the multiplexer while detached. And more than one user at a time can simultaneously connect to the same session.
