Hello,
I have been using the MYRICOM 10Gb card in my NFS server (head node)
for the Beowulf cluster. And it works well. I have a inexpensive
3Com switch (3870) with 48 1Gb ports that has a 10Gb port in it and > I connect the NFS server to that port. The switch does have small
fans in it.
...
My internal cluster
benchmarks (
parallel Quantum mechanics programs ) improved by about 20% with disk
backups improving by 60%.
Could you pls clarify - what are quantum-mechanical programs you used
(and may be typical calculation methods used) ? Are they bound by disk
I/O ?
Yours

Sincerely,
Tom Pierce
