Guys, this is not rocket science. All of these references are to a network node. For IRC, the network is the Internet. For a cluster, the network is ethernet or IB or whatever. In the Linux NUMA kernel example, the network is HyperTransport or QPI or NUMAlink. If someone uses "nodes" when talking about a Linux cluster, the meaning is pretty clear, even if the boxes are NUMA. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
