I haven't been able to find a specific answers to some of these questions in
the FAQ, so here goes. Will linux with SMP support:
Running with:
two (2) pentium II
four (4) pentium II
two (2) pentium III
four (4) pentium III
two (2) pentium II Xeon
four (4) pentium II Xeon
two (2) pentium III Xeon
four (4) pentium III Xeon
two (2) Alpha
If not, is it a limitation of Linux or the processor?
What I've seen _seems_ to suggest that all of the above should be supported
but I'd like to know if anyone has this running? If you have any of the above
running with linux-SMP and wouldn't be adverse to discussing your experience
please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or post to this list.
In addition I'd be interested to know what interface cards people have working,
how much trouble they were to get working. Especially 100BT and Myrinet. Also
large memory configs i.e. 1GB to 2GB of memory. The literature I've seen
suggests that this is possible with minor kernel modifications.
The intended application is a beowulf cluster running MPI.
thanks in advance -DAL-
