Hey All,
Not too long ago I posted about my problems with processes freezing
(just to refresh, I am running two dual-core nodes for a total of four
processes).
I managed to remedy the problem by removing the Dell PowerConnect 2708
Gigabit switch and replacing it with a simple crossover cable. Ever
since then, the system has been running rock solid.
Are there actually issues with switch hardware with Gromacs? I used to
think that these things were pretty much fool proof. I spent about a
month trying to fix what I perceived as a Linux issue.
That poses a question I have to all of you. Is there a particular brand
or model of switch you recommend? Eventually I would like to add
another node to the system!
If you read the Rocks mailing lists (Cluster Linux Distro) you will be
surprised. Dell switches are considered to be crap. Get HP instead (if
your contract allows it...). Go to www.rocksclusters.org for more info.
Thanks,
Jason
