25 May 2001Alan Silverman 3 Cluster Workshop Summaries Over the next few weeks and months, Dane and I will be making summaries of the material presented. We were not planning to do this in Proceedings or Summary form but rather using the material to fill in the headings in a Guide to Building a Cluster document as shown by Dane on Day 1. OK? We welcome any summaries you have made and are willing to share with us. [We will not re-circulate these unless you specifically request this but only use the material.]

25 May 2001Alan Silverman 4 Cluster Workshop Summaries - 2 In order to clarify some item, we may ask specific attendees a question on a point in order not to misunderstand something. We will not quote individuals Before we publish an eventual Guide (via the web, at CHEP in Beijing in September or HEPiX in October), we will give you a chance to correct any errors we may have introduced.

25 May 2001Alan Silverman 5 Cluster Workshop Are we through? First, is there any wish for further discussions this afternoon? [For example, we cancelled the fault tolerance panel. Or more on Benchmarking?] Should we repeat this workshop? Does the field change that much? There are overlapping conferences, workshops, organisations If we should hold another workshop, when (12, 18, 24 months) and where (Europe?) and same format?
