cluster


Hi all!

I am a newbie trying to start a 2 machine linux cluster. Just a couple of questions:

1.) what is DNS ?

2.) How do you find the IP address of a linux machine?

3.) Once the IP address is known, what should the bhost.def file look like?

4.) Does the bhost file need to reside on each machine, or just the main?

I wish to do some parallel processing using LAM/mpi.

Thanks,

Nick

Hello.
DNS is a domain name server.Which convets Hosts names into IP and IP into hostname.
Such as when you write www.hotmail.com. This goes to a primary DNS and this is coverted to appropriate IP

To find ip of some machine.Open termianla and write IFCONFIG.

To do parallel procseeing first of all you will have to configure DNS and install a Cluster Management System(CMS).
So it is a difficukt task.
You can have a CMS
from
oscar.sourceforge.net
Any further question.You can ask

Would this DNS server support just the cluster, or could it support regular clients as well?
