Re: Building an HPC Cluster...

btw those old boxes will run linux no probs....

by the way, a cluster is not what you think, it does not start magically using other computers and make it seem like one big computer... the parallel cluster i am building will run programs that are written specifically for parallel processing with a specific set of libraries to manage the nodes, etc, it's not like you will get a giant supercomputer by doing this that you can play crysis at 1000fps on, very specific use, not something you can build without knowing a thing or two about systems, not something you can build without planning a purpose for it...

Microsoft, the leader in using innovative tactics to promote irksome experience, coupled with antiquated technology that's held together by a pyramid of makeshift afterthoughts.

Apple, the leader in using irksome tactics to promote innovative experience, coupled with an antiquated core that's enhanced by state-of-the-art afterthoughts.

Linux, the leader in not using any tactics to promote user-defined experience, coupled with state-of-the-art core enhanced by innovative afterthoughts.
