Hello, The Khwarzimic Science Society has initiated a Beowulf-class Cluster Computing Project which will be the first or the very pioneering kind of project in Pakistan. Scarce resources have confined us to start with a 4 node network using Celeron 400 Mhz clusters and PIII fileserver, using Red hat Linux 6.0. This cluster, which will be upgraded to 8 and then 16 nodes in the forthcoming couple of months, will cater for the intensive and extensive computing needs of the science academia in Pakistan. Usage will be open for members and affiliated Organisations, Institutes of the Khwarzimic Science Society on a totally non-profit basis. Details can be found at http://www.khwarzimic.org. The best part of the Project is that we have made training and demonstration sessions over Beowulf an essential ingredient of our Project, so that more and more people can benefit from this burgeoning discipline and reap benefit from its usage. These concomitant sessions have already been initiated by our lead developers. We are in need of the following: 1. an online archive and contact list of such low - end Beowulf clusters 2. people who can volunteer equipment, literature, books 3. any suggestions and proposals for collaborative work Responses from low end Beowulf owners will be appreciated. Thanks for your precious time. -------------- Muhammad Sabieh Anwar Joint Secretary Khwarzimic Science Society Resource Manager for the Khwarzimic Beowulf Cluster Project --- Centre of Excellence in Solid State Physics Punjab University Quaid-e-Azam Campus Lahore 54590 Pakistan Fax (0) 92 42 5864534 -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
