Ahh..I see they've clarified their non-commercial license then(just read the faq again). My original statement still stands regardless of the licensing. :-) The intel compilers(using whatever license) gave people I've worked with in the past good results with regard to Matlab. -Original Me

I've had grad students and profs in the past get good results using Matlab, intel and the intel MKL. it's worth making explicit again: grad students and profs are not elegible for the "non-commercial" free Intel license. ___ Beowulf mailing list, Beo

If she's a student, she can download the intel fortran compilers(I'm talking about the commandline compilers, not the visual) for free. They have a number of dev libs that are useful too. I've had grad students and profs in the past get good results using Matlab, intel and the intel MKL. Good Lu

What chipkill buys you is the reasonable assurance that if you have a long uptime and you get soft memory errors something will look at and correct the data before multiple errors have time to accumulate. true, but I think you mean scrubbing, not chipkill. from AMD's bios-writers doc, chipkill

Sounds like you don't need a Beowulf cluster, but what I call a distributed compute farm or what the marketing buzz calls Utility Grid Computing. You can install 1 of many job execution environments such as Condor, Platform, SGE, United Devices Grid MP, etc. etc. to manage your CPU/memory/di
