To serialize your workflow. Besides using GridEngine in the clusters, I install it even locally on the workstations of the users (which are not part of the clusters). They can submit a bunch of jobs to their local machine Friday evening without oversubscribing the machine, and they will be handled in a proper way regarding memory and cores. > HPC can also be done without inter-job > communication - if your jobs are single-node serial or threaded, for > instance. and you may not need any sort of management/provisioning, > depending on the stability of your nodes, environment, expected lifetime, > etc. What about ScaleMP / Kerrighed to make a single machine out of many - has anyone experience with it and uses it in a cluster? http://www.scalemp.com/ http://www.kerrighed.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page -- Reuti _______________________________________________ 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
