This is a bit of a shameless plug but as were on the subject. We are just in the process of releasing our new stack, ClusterVisionOS v4. We stick it on top of your favorite red hat clone(mostly SL) to provide a host of handy cluster tools and enhancements. From November/December(ish) you will get it free if you buy a cluster from us but we also sell it as a stand alone product.
We have gone all GUI with this release, the management system features a SOAP API which can be utilized by a management interface that we have built from the Mozilla GTK. This enables it to be easily ported to any platform that supports Mozilla. It's all been written and designed by our extremely fastidious Dutch development team so the UI has a nice polished look and feel. They have built a lightweight slave node monitoring daemon that sends various metrics to the system for compilation and delivery through the SOAP API (I think using snmp). As SOAP works with pretty much any language you would care to mention, you can, with a little help from your friends, _fully_ manage your cluster(s) from anywhere from the comfort of your favorite language. Our chief developer has assured me that anything that can be done with the CLI can be done through the API/GUI. ClusterVisionOS is now a well established stack which has proven to be quite popular amongst our users. If anyone feels differently about this please let me know :) Please take a look at this PDF. Its a little marketing orientated but all we have at present. We are in the process of writing the literature. http://www.moonet.co.uk/ClusterVisionOS4.pdf For the full magazine which includes some detail on the University of Bristol's "Blue Crystal" 40TF system (66 on the recent top500) and other recent ClusterVision projects please look here:- http://www.clustervision.com/CV_NEWS_summer2008.pdf Cheers Andrew Holway UK Office, ClusterVision tel: +44 7525 057462 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustervision.com _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
