(you find it on some site looking for > MPI; could be MVP but i'm not sure). PVM. There are variants of MPI too, MPICH, LAM, etc. There are even variants for specific hardware like Myrinet. You may also want to look into the PBS port, although its sort of old and should be updated to a more recent OpenPBS version (I have 2.3.14, which is free from the nastier license terms). There is also a SLURM port that has appeared recently and someone was working on a SGE port too. These are more HPC clustering tools though and you seem to be looking in the HA space instead. "Clustering software" is rather a broad category. There is software in that category that runs on FreeBSD, but you'll need to be more specific to get better answers :). I don't believe FreeBSD currently has anything for transparent process migration like BProc or MOSIX (although IIRC MOSIX was originally written for BSD). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
