[Pw_forum] Howto DIY a small cluster with Infiniband for QE simulation?

[Rolly Ng]

Dear QE users,

I used to run QE on individual server and the computation speed is quite 
limited.

I am planning to build a small cluster with Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs 
dedicated to QE and the cluster will be used by a few people within the 
research group.

The networking hardware that I already have:
(1) Mellanox ConnectX-2 VPI Dual Port HCA Infiniband QDR adapter on each 
server,
(2) Mellanox 4036E 36 Port QDR switch,
(3) 4 identical servers with same CPUs, memory and GPUs as computing nodes,
(4) QDR copper cables.

My questions are:
(1) how to configure the infiniband network on OpenSuSE 13.2?
(2) how to compile QE to make use of the infiniband hardware?
(3) how to compile and run GPU (pw-gpu.x) across the cluster?

Thank you,
Rolly
