I've never heard of Conga, but I know manysmall to medium sized supercomputing sites that use Rocks and there seems to be a number of packages ("Rolls") built for it. Why don't you try them both in a test lab and decide which one you like better? "Better" is a very subjective thing to judge.

FWIW, you really don't need to use either of them to set up an HPC cluster. I sumply have a common software directory NFS mounted accross all of the nodes plus NFS home directories and LDAP authentication. This works well for our set-up. If you're comfortable with Linux administration, setting up a basic HPC cluster isn't that tricky a task.

Thank you Friend,

Yesterday I tried Rock cluster. It worked fine. But today I will try HPC. I think instead of Rock, this HPC will be easier to manage.

Manoj
