PVM.. http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/ Also look at MPI, http://www.open-mpi.org/ As an aside, PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) have become the standard interfaces for high-performance parallel programming in the message-passing paradigm. I mention this because I have a bias toward MPI. One nice thing about Open MPI is the range of hardware and batch system integrations. Also MPI may be the best place to develop new parallel code, it appears to me that new application code design work is happening in the MPI world. Perhaps more important is the integration and development of drivers for fast interconnects. As for OS use Redhat Enterprise linux or one of the derrived "free" clones like CentOS or Scientific Linux will take you a long way. Use the same OS on all your systems.. CentOS -- http://www.centos.org/ Scientific Linux -- https://www.scientificlinux.org/ -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
