A quick search on http://www.google.com/ returned: http://www.sc.cs.tu-bs.de/pare/: "PaRe is an educational project at the Technical University Braunschweig to set up a Beowulf-class supercomputer built from commodity components. It starts from early hardware and design decisions and ends in building and profiling some small parallelized applications." When talking about "clustering", you should mention whether it's related to parallel computing or fail-over/high-availability. For more information on Beowulf-style clusters, take a look at: http://www.beowulf.org/ For a Beowulf-style cluster with a FreeBSD spin on it: http://acme.ecn.purdue.edu/ I've set up a PVM-based cluster on FreeBSD. It's pretty straight forward: Basically, it's just a FreeBSD base install and the PVM package (which is in the ports collection). A PVM enabled povray is also available in the ports collection, but I've not had a chance to play with it yet. PVM links: http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/book/pvm-book.html -- mwest@uct.ac.za On Tue, Jul 11, 2000 at 10:51:54AM -0400, Gary Jackson wrote: > On Tue, 11 Jul 2000, Frederik Meerwaldt wrote: > > >as this is a low-level questions, I thought to post it to -hackers.
