i split the thread as to not pollute the other discussion. I'm curious if anyone has any hard data on the above, but encapsulating the compute from the storage using VM's instead of just separate processes? in theory you could cap the performance interference using VM's and cgroup controls, but i'm not sure how effective that actually is (no data) in HPC. I've been thinking about this recently to rebalance some of the rack loading throughout my data center. yes, i can move things around within the racks, but then it turns into a cabling nightmare. discuss? _______________________________________________ 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
