What you are looking for is not an HPC cluster, but rather a compute/compile farm...
Did you look at SGE (GridEngine) before?? SGE has 2 parallel make implementations: SGE's own qmake and distmake: http://distmake.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SGEIntegration For other similar projects (Condor, PBS, BOINC), they do not have parallel make integration, but you can treat each package building as a job. You can take a look at the following projects: SGE: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ BOINC: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Condor: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/ And for SGE, you can setup a queue calendar, and thus the hosts will only accept jobs during off hours. You should also read this HOWTO: "Tracking Interactive Idle Time" http://gridengine.sunsource.net/howto/idle.html You can get further help from the mailing list: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users Rayson On 9/4/06, Maxence Dunnewind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi. i'm a user of the Ubuntu Linux OS, and also a packager for this OS. As you may know , packaging can be take a lot of time, mainly during building process. I would create a public cluster for help packagers. All Ubuntu users can accept we use their computers on the cluster. But the cluster system MUST only use free ressource of this computers (and maybe user could set a quota)... i want people only have to install some software (no kernel compilation or other things). I want know if beowulf could works in this case ???? I'm sorry for my (very) bad english, i'm french :) Regards, -- Maxence DUNNEWIND http://www.sos-sts.info <=== Entraide étudiante http://www.ubuntu-fr.org <=== La meilleure distribution Linux :) Contact : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
