Browsing through the archives, I didn't see much (I don't think this list gotten more 50 messages in the past 9 months). I'm kinda new to clustering and was wondering what I could do with a bunch of machines (couple hundred anyway). Okay, in fact, I've never really dealt with a cluster per-se, but I might be taking a job that will put me in charge of admining one. It'll be Linux, but I thought I might do some research and see if my favorite operating system offers anything over it. Gratuitous Buzzwords: PVM MPI DIPC Mosix What about distributed procps (ala Beowulf)? I saw a thread about that in January but it seems to have died out. -gordon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
