I wouldn't say that this is disjunct - you can also use a queuing system in a good way on such a machine IMO. But the idea was more: you have an application which is only Open MP parallel but scales in a nice way. Hence you could run larger jobs on such a machine. Is it worth to try it (and regarding this setup I was asking, whether anyone is using it and has experience - it's like running OpenMP across nodes). -- Reuti > Since rendering is mostly an embarrassingly parallel workload, it is > way easier to install & run something like Rocks cluster (or even > Platform-HPC), and it is not going to run any slower than on a ScaleMP > "cluster". > > Rayson > > ================================================== > Open Grid Scheduler - The Official Open Source Grid Engine > http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/ > > > On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Reuti <re...@staff.uni-marburg.de> wrote: >> What about ScaleMP / Kerrighed to make a single machine out of many - has >> anyone experience with it and uses it in a cluster? >> >> http://www.scalemp.com/ http://www.kerrighed.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page >> >> -- Reuti >> _______________________________________________ >> 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 _______________________________________________ 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
