- Philoushka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nice ! Imagine this as a Beowulf cluster!
I, for one, welcome our Slashdot-topic-posting overlords! - EdLesMann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just use Rocks...easiest way to build, maintain, update, and run a cluster...

- JulianMorrison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't imagine what it would actually be useful for - unless your machine's CPU is habitually redlined, and you still want to run a batch job. Not very likely on a modern machine!
- kilian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> How does this differ from LSF?
That's older! :)
No digg for last century technologies. Try looking at http://wiki.openssi.org or http://kerrighed.org, instead. - aggrazel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How does this differ from LSF?
- waffletchnlgy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Rocks is more of a fast provisioning and configuration system to get the cluster up and running. Underneath you still have a distributed resource manager like Condor, LSF or even better SGE (http://gridengine.sunsource.net/), which come as Rocks Rolls.
- dhcmrlchtdj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is pre-alpha. Try Condor or Rocks.
- Ryaaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I knew this article was old when submitting it, but i figured that there would be people that had better suggestions on different technologies. I am looking into making a cluster of about 12 with another fellow associate of mine. I wanted to see if there was any other feedback out there.

Its amazing what some people think of as a "cluster" these days. No directly attached shared storage at the back end .. gimme a break!
The most impressive High Availability cluster solution for Linux that I've seen to date comes from these guys: http://polyserve.com/products_mslinux.php
Their Cluster Filesystem is more like VMS filesystem than anything else, and is way ahead of OpenSSI, the Veritas Global Filesystem, etc.
- Ryaaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey.. thanks for that tip. a few others have suggested the same. much appreciated.
- EdLesMann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ryaaan,
If your looking into feedback about clustering, seriously consider Rocks. I know you don't have a clue as to who I am or if anything I say is true, but after 4 years of clustering high performance machines in the academic world I have found that Rocks is by far above everything else. It offers packages and auto-configurations that are great, and can easily be customized and fine tuned. I have yet to see any other product take computers and turn them into a cluster as fast or as efficient as Rocks does.
There is a good reason why they are winning awards for this product... - JulianMorrison, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looking around at their savannah page, an informative quote: "In June 2005 a new GNU Queue maintainer (Koni) was appointed. The original GNU Queue and the sourceforge site for the project has withered on the vine over the past few years. [...] A completely new code base is under development."
IOW: it's pre-alpha semi-abandonware right in the middle of massive code churn. Does not deserve to be dugg!
