For the parallel data systems class in which students design, build, and testa parallel file system, we are planning to have students build parallel file systems within OpenVZcontainers. The major constraint in this approach is the I/O performance bottleneck for the I/Oserver components of parallel file systems running in virtual machines that must share physicaldisks on the services on which they operate. The approach we are considering to overcome thisconstraint is to schedule final performance runs for students running on physical servers.

Instead of delving straight into calculations, we have the students build a catapult from plans and parts that we provide.

First, the course was given considerably greater definition, including theaddition of a course description and course objectives and power generation and distribution aswell as network modeling were added to the course content. Second, it was decided thatInfrastructure Engineering would become the second course in our 3-course engineeringsequence, which is taught to non-engineers, mostly humanities majors.

A comparison between the growth from the 2008/2009 group and the 2009/2010group could show the effectiveness of a hybrid class that could replace much of the lectureportion of senior design.
