Hello everyone,
After a lot of googling, I've setup a rocks cluster with 1 frontend node and 2 compute nodes. The rocks version is 6.1 and packaged centos version is 6.5. The cluster is built and the nodes are up and running. I am unable to find good "How to's" to run a service on rocks, monitor the cluster, which node is getting the maximum load? Are the processes being distributed across all the nodes and so on.
I tested small jobs like compiling a c program using mpicc and running the same using mpirun. Which worked. Does a tool specifically to monitor the cluster exists? a tool, for example, generates unnecessary load, a benchmark, or something. What are the good guides i can follow? Please throw some light. Thanks!

Since you did "a lot of Googling"...did you happen to come across the Rocks documentation that tells you these things????
http://central6.rocksclusters.org/ro...on/base/6.1.1/

The Rocks documentation has ALL the commands with explanations..

@TBone,
I did go through the entire document. There's no information about performance measurement, parallel processing, proving the fact that the cluster is better than a single computer, which is exactly what i asked.

There are many references to tools in that document, and many MORE you could have found with a Google search...just typing "how to measure rocks cluster performance", brings back about 70 MILLION hits....

...like those two, which reference many OTHER tools. Rocks has built-in utilities you can use (referenced in the documentation), which you can script with. There are also third-party tools, like those mentioned above.

@TB0ne,
Thank you so much for the links! Got what i wanted

You're welcome, but at least TRY to look things up yourself, rather than asking people to do it for you.
