Dear all, this is my first post on this list, so I'll introduce myself: I'm a graduate student at the department of Computer Science of the University of Verona (Italy) and has a project we are planning to built up a system for distributed high performance computation. The main idea of this project will be to re-use the existing infrastructure, formed by three laboratories, normally used for didactic activities (for a total of ca. 250 PCs) in order to use the unused computational power of these machines. We've also a strong constraint: all the machines must run, as operating system, an Ubuntu 10.04 distribution. On this system should run MPI applications and the idea was to use Globus Toolkit and we've tried to follow the documentation on the web site but without any success. Does anyone have some good advice to give me? Some documentation/tutorial to suggests? We're a couple of student working on this, and we're both new to this field! Thanks a lot for every suggestion,
Michele.
