heartbeat/pacemaner are for high-availability cluster, whereas beowulf clustering is primarily about high-performance or -throughput clustering. a beowulf cluster may use HA techniques, but normally only for support nodes (if at all.) (for symmetry, HA clusters do not normally use MPI, and rarely provide batch job schedulers, which is normal for HPC clusters). > I've seen OpenMPI, but it uses Oracle's Message Passing Toolkit.

MPI is a library which permits you to run a program on several machines, and have them communicate and synchronize fairly readily. this has nothing to do with HA... does that help? regards, mark hahn. _______________________________________________ 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
