I'm all about of Fault Tolerant systems… But definitely you need a queuing system for your toy - Hanni suggested one - I will try also :) generally It should work well even in your developed code (I'm thinking of simplified development since – ie of selfish/byzantine node behavior in FT space)
For all the rest hpc-howto is a right choice (please review a cosmetic bug for latest glibs for this document I sent you before), even in load balanced service oriented grids. hum, can we think of virtual server as for LB for the grid in a manner for the hpc platform? // Btw – is anybody can say anything good about LVS? Our *nix/DBAs are using this with oracle, but seem it works poorly. I designed my last project to use F5 networks device + extended monitor. Does anybody use LVS in grids? -- gentoo-cluster@gentoo.org mailing list
