I agree, the current generation boards all seem to have decent GigE.
Nvidis runs it's own NForce. Broadcom and Marvell seem popular too.
Intel mobos run Intel (strangely enough) as do Supermicro. I think Tyan
uses Intel for some and 3Com for others.
My only word of caution is if you go bargain bin

I remember hearing about the Australian army developing something
similar with DEC (who?) back in the early 1980's. Idea was it had to be
robust enough for a sled drop out of the back of a Herc!
Not sure how they handed the online storage. I doubt if your average
80's HDD could cope wit

You're right about application of a PPU in a Beowulf. I just happen to
run galaxy dynamics on my Beowulf. Mo

I recently visited a large educational institution (that shall remain
nameless) that hosts an excellent, world class, science research team.
They also have a reasonably large Beowulf environment (over 100 dual nodes).
Now maybe it was j

If I see one more nice looking bit of kit (CPU, mobo etc) tested under
some gaming benchmark I'll spit! OK, there's a couple of Linux hardware
sites around and some of the bigger sites occasionally run a Linux test
but it's slim pickings.

Sorry if this turns out to be a dupe post but MS has just released their

A couple of points to add (being a 3DCG *and* Cluster monkey ;)
Sorry RGB but you shouldn't mention 'production quality' and POVray in
the same sentence. While POVray is great for what it is (and what it
costs!) It falls a long way short of what's expected for production.

Slashdot used to be a source of distilled "interesting things" for me.
These days it seems more for kiddies to complain about the latest
troubles in WoW, mindless M$ bashing and 'if Linux is to

I understand about multiple NICs per node (done that). I've got SMP
nodes, how do I "bond" a NIC to a CPU in MPI 1.2x?

Are you using MPI (1.2x)? If so, check out my Tips page:

Under Multiple NICs.
In short you give each secondary interface its own hostname then modify
the mpirun.args. Of course, your machines list also reflects this :)
