How to connect two linux computers via their pci slots?

Infiniband is the current off-the-shelf solution. RDMA protocol is about the lowest overhead method of connecting machines in a cluster. It you want to get really fast, go for a PCIe non-transparent bridge.

NASA built a Linux based multiprocessor. See if they have public documents on it.

Hello MozOz, and welcome to LQ

If you read this post (posts 2 & 3 particularly) you'd realise how stupid this idea really is. For all practical purposes it can't be done. What can be done is buy a server motherboard. Multiprocessor, multievertything, superfast, etc.Also, pci is basically gone the way of isa - it's too slow.

A project of this sort will never pass the 'smoke test.' The smoke test is: turn it on; if it doesn't smoke, you've passed the smoke test. I'm speaking to you as a hardware head.

I would have slapped them... after I paid my bill.

Chat away guys. Interested in the 'old fogey' stuff myself being 64. I never get the senior price. The barber keeps cutting the grey out

The OP appears to be a troll - he's baled after post #1.

I didn't realize how old this thread was when I replied.

Please keep only technical replies in the technical forums.

Yes, this is a very old thread and not much has changed.
