Cluster Camera

This was a snapshot of the public iPAQ and skiff cluster at Cambridge Research Laboratory. The camera hasn't worked for over a year now, sorry.

The camera is a Zoom CU-68R connected through USB to a Linux system, which identifies it as a CPiA camera, version 1.30. Every 10 minutes, a cron job takes a snapshot using vidcat, a command-line program that comes with the w3cam package.

If the camera is pointing in the right direction, then you're looking at a brown cabinet with iPAQs on the top shelf and the shelf below it. The white box beneath each iPAQ houses an IDE drive. The skiffs are the flat white boxes stacked on the right-hand side of the third shelf from the top. The Ethernet switches for the cluster are to the left of the skiffs. Most of the cluster skiffs and iPAQs are also connected to a terminal server, which is the flat black box on the left-hand side of the shelf below the top.
