Thanks everyone. I got it. I will be using MPICH for my cluster. And my distro would be Ubuntu Giutsy Gibbon. It already has support for x86-64 architecture and SMP. So now i have to install MPICH. Hope everything goes well. ___ Beowulf mailing list, Beow

What has been said about Mosix as a dead project is wrong. OpenMosix is dead but Mosix (see mosix.org) supports 2.6 kernels. The main difference now is that Mosix is a commercial product gratis for researchers. Dan ___ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@be

There are living active distros which continue to use the 2.4 kernel. DSL linux, for example. I imagine it would be straight-forward to build MPI and other tools for those distros, though I have not done it. Where can I get a older 2.4 kernel based Linux? old distros are still plent

I am totally new to clustering. It seems most clustering software like OpenMosix need 2.4 kernel to work. I guess that's one of the reasons Mosix has been ended. Where can I get a older 2.4 kernel based Linux? old distros are still plenty available, just not well advertised (or supported).

I thought Mosix had released support for somewhat recent 2.6 kernels, but indeed, its no longer actively supported/developed. MPICH and OpenMPI support all sorts of 64 arch's x86_64, IA64, MIPS, etc... On Sun, 2007-10-28 at 13:30 -0500, Gerry Creager wrote: > MPICH/OpenMPI are happy with cu

MPICH/OpenMPI are happy with current kernels. Mosix is a dead project. I have not used it in years, so I can't comment on it. gerry Sandip Dev wrote: I am totally new to clustering. It seems most clustering software like OpenMosix need 2.4 kernel to work. Where can I get a older 2.4 kernel
