Re: [Beowulf] massive parallel processing application required

As part of my dissertation, I'm looking for "raw data" which will be used for massive parallel processing using Beuwulf cluster (with the use of PVM my "massive", so you mean "embarassingly parallel" (aka loosely coupled)? if so, I'd probably go with password cracking ;) MPI). I tried looking f

I don't heard of anybody doing that, but: The entire client install process is controlled by the install script, so you can customize it to do only what you really need ant can configure systemimager to use your trimmed down kernel in the install process to have a working client faster. I th

Dear Beowulf Community: I'm building my first cluster and wanted to express thankfulness for the community resources here. I've been reading about clustering here and at clustermonkey.net and my hardware is arriving this week. In fact, my power supplies and CPUs arrived today. I'm going to be

Hi all, As part of my dissertation, I'm looking for "raw data" which will be used for massive parallel processing using Beuwulf cluster (with the use of PVM or MPI). I tried looking for e-science raw data (and the computations required on it) such as bioinformatics, fluid dynamics, etc. but w

[Beowulf] failure rates

2007-01-30 Thread enver ever
Hello there I am a PhD student working on mathematical looking to the availability of Beowulf clusters. I was looking whether or not it is possible to take exponential failure rates fot the nodes. Thats the case in these publications: 1- "A Realistic Evaluation of Consistency Algorithms
