Dear Beowulf mailing list members,
we are building a new Beowulf cluster at the moment. New hardware is
arriving every day. Now we want to make certain that this hardware has
no errors. Therefore we want to stress test them.
Do you know of any papers, articles, proceedings, tools... concerning
this topic beside the ones below?
All of the links you suggest look good.
Other things to consider for a stress test are:
Unpack a clean Linux kernel tree. Do a kernel compile. Tar up the
resulting tree. Repeat, and compare the two resulting tar files.
A linux kernel compile is a surprisingly good way of stressing a system.
On a completed cluster, run HPL on all nodes for an extended period and
let the cluster heat up.
