AB  -      Exploring the Use of Virtual Machines and Virtual Clusters for High                    Performance Computing Education.High performance computing systems have been based on commodity computing hardware sincethe introduction of Beowulf systems in the mid-1990’s. The emergence of virtualization andcloud computing technologies now make it possible to build high performance computing clustersystems across a collection of virtual machines. This paper will explore the pedagogical andtechnological issues involved in the use of virtualization and cloud computing technologies forHPC education, focusing on: mixed use of physical and virtual computing environments; highperformance networking fabrics; pedagogical limitations of virtual and cloud computing; thedevelopment of an effective teaching laboratory for virtual clustering; and the performance andreliability constraints of a mixed virtual cluster environment. The paper will describe the use ofvirtualization software, specifically Xen, OpenVZ, and VMware, and an assessment of theviability of the Eucalyptus, NIMBUS, and OpenNebula cloud computing systems for use forvirtual clusters for HPC education.
