Re: Building an HPC Cluster...

the master and node1 are now almost there, i have setup distcc to compile using them, this means that i have now the ability to setup new systems a few times faster then normal, i also have gotten 2 more p4 machines, one ht, one not (i think), they will be joining the cluster probably closer to the end of the week (i have to make some space for them near some power sockets)

Plan for tonite is to get openmpi working, as well as torque and maui (gentoo restricts the download of the code, i have to download it, but wget does not download it either) i was having a ton of fun compiling the kernel yesterday, i saw about a 60% increase in speed with just one more machine (granted it was a 3.4 vs 3.0 with nearly twice the memory).

plan for first cluster test next week (probably render something in blender using mpi) (do i hear anyone say MIT box?)
