Re: Naming Schemes
We have a group of three compute servers (64-core Opteron machines) that three groups ordered together. The fluid dynamics group's one is called Poseidon, the AI group's one is called Pallas, and mine is dubbed Zeus, king of gods, as it is the most expensive one, with 512 GB instead of 256 GB RAM. Fairly boring, compared to some of the schemes mentioned.
I also rather liked the names of various Beowulf clusters in the past, like Hrothgar, and other figures from that epic poem.I suggested calling a cluster at our university Grendel, but that didn't take off, for some reason.
