Soft to build cluster under Linux
 

Hi ALL!
I face a problem to make cluster on the base of Linux. I have an experience to make it only under Windows.
1.What soft would You advice to make claster under Linux or UNIX FreeBSD.
2.Is anybody know good internet resources about this subject? (are there any HOWTO's about such a problem?)
Thanks.

As much as I would like to tell you how to do this I am going to be mean and tell you to google.

It don't get easyer than that.

Do you know anything about split procesing? Just b/c you have 4 notes running at 3.2GHZ doesn't mean that you have a 12.8GHZ machine. All you your programs have to be rewritten to use multi nodes. Linux however does support mulit-processors but unless the program is written to split the load then its going to use processor 0 more than 1.

I have a dual pentuim box and looking at grellem it seems as if it takes turns processing data.

I know that there is a cluster knopptix so you could boot all your nodes off a cdrom for testing.

Here is an idea for your cluster. Look into running linux on a Xbox. its 900mhz,10-15 gig hdr,dvd rom,64-128meg memory with upgrades for people who like modding. I thought about using 4 or 5 just for the hell of it. I couldn't write any programs for it but it would just be cool to have.
