+1 coming from a university setting. I think this is very typical amongst my peers. Not "good" , or "desirable"; but just a fact. I also suspect this is a "size of the cluster" issue. Many of the HPC-clusters I see are "small". 30-50 servers clustered together. I think these tend to be a lot more messy and hacked-together than the nice, clean, efficient setups many of you on this list might have. Mark probably deals with "huge" systems. Just a thought. -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
