One possibility is nettee. http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/nettee.html The current version of nettee is 0.1.7, from July 20,2005. nettee is a network "tee" program. It can typically transfer data between N nodes at (nearly) the full bandwidth provided by the switch which connects them. It is handy for cloning nodes or moving large database files.
As a related side note: If the bandwidth you get is not what you expect, it may well be that your switch is bad (or that your disks are slow). That was my experience a couple of years ago, so we implemented a switch benchmark called "Switchbench", that helps to identify the bandwidth bottleneck in a network. - Felix _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
