The rapid development of large clusters built with commodity hardware has highlighted scalability issues with deploying and effectively running system software in large clusters. We describe here our experiences with monitoring, image distribution, batch and other system administration software tools within the 1000+ node Linux cluster currently in production at the RHIC Computing Facility.
The emergence of the GRID architecture and related tools will have a large impact in the operation and design of present and future large clusters. We present here the ongoing efforts to equip the Linux Farm at the RHIC Computing Facility with Grid-like capabilities.
In this report we review the prospects for Higgs physics at LEP2. The theoretical aspects and the phenomenology of Higgs particles are discussed within the Standard Model (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The experimental search techniques are described and the discovery limits for Higgs bosons in the LEP2 energy range are summarized. In addition, opportunities of detecting Higgs particles in non-minimal extensions of the SM and the MSSM are investigated.
