Linux Clustering Haikus

Here is the cumulative collection of all of our haikus.

We only ask that if you like them and use them somewhere, please give appropriate credit to the author/poet.

If you would like to contribute any haikus, please send them along to webmaster@lcic.org and we'll be happy to post them.


We can see penguins
We're not in the Antarctic
In a server room
      --Joe Greenseid
How can I attempt
To map the human genome
Just use a cluster
      --Joe Greenseid
Silent, strong, deadly
A cluster crunching numbers
Alone in the night
      --Joe Greenseid
A cluster running
Red Hat, SuSE, Debian,
The same, but yet, not.
      --Joe Greenseid
Build me a cluster
Use Scyld or openMosix
Make it fast and good
      --Joe Greenseid
To install boxes
System Installation Suite
It is the answer
      --Joe Greenseid
How to monitor?
NetSaint, Ganglia, others,
To watch the cluster.
      --Joe Greenseid
3000 machines
Humming softly to themselves
One omnicient mind
      --Trey Belew
The Open Cluster
FrameWork helps Linux compete
Makes clusters better
      --Sean Dague
Many boxes thrash
Holding their digital hands
Solution found now
      --V Hoffman
Embedded cluster,
Small, diskless, headless, wireless,
Oops, I swallowed it.
      --V Hoffman
My cluster is built
What to do now? Hey, I know
I'll reinstall it.
      --Michael Chase-Salerno
Much too cold in lab
Boot the Itanium node
Ah, warm. Now can't hear
      --Michael Chase-Salerno
Boot boot network boot
I'm a happy client node
No answer, I'm sad
      --Michael Chase-Salerno
This Grid computing,
They say, "wave of the future!"
Yeah, but does it work?
      --Joe Greenseid
There is much sadness
I feel inside me right now
Why can't this just work?
      --Joe Greenseid
Just blow him away
Shoot other node in the head
Steal away the disk
      --Joe Greenseid
Stonith scares boxen
They cry aloud in the night
But they don't go down
      --Trey Belew
Nodes freshly gathered
Fractal warrior army
The deafening breeze
      --Dylan Reilly
O happy cluster!
Busy nodes never lonely
Warm interconnect...
      --Nivedita Singhvi
Beowulf is a
Computer architecture
For computations.
      --Trey Belew
With a server node
And one or more client nodes
Ethernet driven.
      --Trey Belew
Cluster's soothing hum
The gentle sound of white noise
It makes me sleepy.
      --Joe Greenseid
Rocks, Scyld or Oscar
There are so many choices
Thank you all so much!
      --Peter Lindgren
Clusters do it all
faster, cheaper *and* better
We get to pick three.
      --Peter Lindgren
Proprietary
Brobdingnagians lose to
Massed Lilliputians
      --Peter Lindgren
Standing together
48 tiny towers
Handling any load
      --Peter Lindgren
The mainframe cries out
"Don't you want me anymore?"
We just hurry by
      --Peter Lindgren
"Clusters are easy"
But power, cooling, and racks
Consume all our time
      --Peter Lindgren
Response time was long
We made it so much faster
Now they expect it!
      --Peter Lindgren
That constant humming
Even with my ear plugs in
Is driving me mad...
      --Peter Lindgren
