Hello, Hi All. We are developing Beowulf Cluster for the first time at our university department. We will perform numerical simulations in CFD on the cluster. We have chosen that each node (master and compute) of the cluster will be consisting of 2 AMD Dual Core Opteron Processors on Tyan Thunder Motherboard, 4 GB of RAM (2GB RAM for each processor), and at least 80GB of Hard Disk Drive. The nodes will be connected through 10/100/1000baseT Gigabit Ethernet. Initially we have decided to setup cluster of 1 master and 3 compute nodes. Thus totaling 16 cores in the cluster. Now we require suggestion for clustering softwares and technical softwares/compilers/libraries. We want to have suitable software for cluster establishment, scheduling and monitoring. I have studied a bit about "scyld". Could any of tell me about that? I am little convinced with "scyld". I am a Lehman computer user so cannot fully understand the concerning pages on the web.
I wonder to see too many terms about "scyld" like. Are they same/integrated in one package or different ones? SHOULD we use the master node for performing computational work along with cluster-handling? Could any of you please suggest me full software list staring from OS to clustering software, Message Passing Libraries, Fortran 95 compilers and mathematical libraries, to fully establish our Beowulf cluster for parallel CFD computing. We would be interested in buying the softwares.
