Re: [Beowulf] Dual Nehalem announced.

Bill I'm told the availability of systems within 4 days can't be accurate at this point. Any product available now is a prerelease and not a final as Intel has not released the volume chips yet. Michael A. Huntingdon Higher Education Sales Account Manager Systems Performance Consultants Office

Re: [Beowulf] Alpha beowulf: True64 or Linux?

Seems to me, the first cluster we built was mid 1999 for LBNL, in prep for SC2000. Maddog didn't or couldn't talk much about Linux. Greg's hair was longer and he was far less politically correct. And everyone hated the absolute finest (Alpha) chip set available. To this day, it's hard to compar

Re: [Beowulf] distributed file storage solution?

I just sat in on a presentation where both streaming and meta-data were discussed. Meta-data is the silver bullet in a Luster environment. The conversation turned to setting up NFS for home/user, with the nearly all other data on SFS with enough OSS and MDS servers to provide both the throughpu

Re: [Beowulf] non-proprietary IPMI card?

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 mentioned isn't really earth shatter

Bill If you are going to look into a different MPI implementation, consider HP-MPI. The choice of interconnect (GigE, Myrinet, IB, and Quadrics) are all written into it, so you can create a single (common) operating environment for your programmers. I had a look at the benchmarks a few months

Re: [Beowulf] newbie's dilemma

This is a common practice for large organizations, on or off campus. HP and I believe IBM have the same service level certification offerings, with (IMHO) higher valued products. ciao~ At 09:20 AM 3/16/2006, John Hanks wrote: On Thu, 2006-03-16 at 08:03 -0800, David Kewley wrote: > A late re
