Template:oldfaq This section aims to cover topics that pertain to using any of the computer clusters in Peyton Hall. Note that when I say cluster I don't mean the same as OIT calls "computer labs", but instead a "Beowulf cluster", or group of machines on a private network which attach to a single "master node", which sends jobs out to the "drones" to be run.
