To Bernard, Chris and Joe, especially,
Thanks!
Now, for the flame-bait. Bernard suggests cacti and/or ganglia to
handle this. Our group have heard some mutterings that ganglia is a
"chatty" applicaiton and could cause some potential hits on or 1 Gbe
interconnect fabric.
A little background on our current implementation: 126 dual-quad core
Xeon Dell 1950's interconnected with gigabit ethernet. No, it's not the
world's best MPI machine, but it should... and does... perform admirably
for throughput applications where most jobs can be run on a node (or
two) but which don't use MPI as much as, e.g., OpenMP, or in some cases,
even run on a single core but use all the RAM.
So, we're worried a bit about having everything talk on the same gigabit
backplane, hence, so far, no ganglia.
What are the issues I might want to worry about in this regard,
especially as we expand this cluster to more nodes (potentially going to
2k cores, or, essentially doubling?
Thanks, gerry

We're collecting a CSV dataset of node temps from IPMI for our Dell

annular transportation device?
Thanks, gerry
probably a little cut and paste from here ...

You can also parse the CSV here, so it should be fairly simple to create
what you need. You can see code which generates RRDgraphs from here
