Abstract:
1. A chassis partition framework for configuring a personal cluster computer with a head-node mainboard, a first compute-node mainboard, a second compute-node mainboard, a third compute-node mainboard and a fourth compute-node mainboard, the chassis partition framework comprising: an upper partition board horizontally arranged to define a top chamber for configuring the head-node mainboard such that a back of the head-node mainboard is parallel to the upper partition board; and a middle partition board arranged orthogonally to the upper partition board, defining a left chamber located under the top chamber and arranged for vertically configuring the first and second compute-node mainboards therein in face-to-face alignment, and a right chamber also located under the top chamber and adjacent to a right side of the left chamber, and arranged for vertically configuring the third and fourth compute-node mainboards therein in face-to-face alignment; wherein the middle partition board is arranged for configuring the third compute-node mainboard and the second compute-node mainboard in back-to-back alignment.
