Vincent, I cannot answer all of your questions. I have a couple of answers:
Regarding MPI, you will be looking for OpenMPI You will need a subnet manager running somewhere on the fabric. These can either run on the switch or on a host. If you are buying this equipment from eBay I would imagine you will be running the Open Fabrics subnet manager on a host on your cluster, rather than on a switch. I might be wrong - depends if the switch has a SM license. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
