Yes, definitely.
The Supermicro IPMI cards can share the eth0 port with the main gigabit

When comparing cluster offerings, seems reasonable, that the
additional $85-$100 would be factored in to any system/cluster
purchase, for at least power up/down and reset? This is astonishing,
or is there something I'm missing in this thread? The technology

The Broadcom 5721 NIC comes with IPMI capability. We use Dell PE850's which
are equipped with dual onboard Broadcom 5721J NICS. One of the NICS has IPMI
built in. You set up the IPMI in the BIOS-IP address, username, password-and
then you can access over the same CAT5 cable. The regular ethernet an

I have recently completed a number of performance tests on a Beowulf
cluster, using up to 48 dual-core P4D nodes, connected by an Extreme
Networks Gigabit edge switch. The tests consist of single and multi-node
application benchmarks, including DLPOLY, GROMACS, and VASP, as well as
specific tests o

with 2 AMD dual core opteron processors and 4GB of RAM on each node.
