Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of a portable cluster supercomputer created specifically for processing particle image velocimetry image data. To make this computer system portable for a laboratory environment, it is designed to run on minimal power, to be lightweight, and portable. The hardware configuration consists of 12 processing nodes with a total of 48 processor cores, one master node with five terabytes of disk storage, and a gigabit ethernet interconnect. The total configuration along with a rugged transportation case has an approximate gross weight of 3901b and works on one standard 120 V, 20A electric circuit. With this cluster computer, a speedup of 28 relative to standard serial processing of a large particle image velocimetry data set was achieved.
