Hi Jerôme
I just started to work on a similar cluster project, the main goal of mine
being to run FEMs that don't hit the 32bit resource limit. But I also hope
to use DX on it. I know there is/used to be an SMP version of DX and there
is a clustering tools called openmosix that may be good to implement. I'm
hoping one/both of these will be useful for DX.
We should ask the real guru's this, but there might be a hardware issue
concerning graphics cards since DX is, after all, a graphical tool. I'm not
sure how clustering will help the graphics side of things......
As I say, I'm just starting on this, but found that the ROCKS
http://www.rocksclusters.org/ distribution is very easy to set-up - like a
couple of hours. Be warned though. the download is the slowest part of the
whole procedure.

Hi,
I'm opendx user on mandrake and i have a project, far today, to construct a
cluster, with cheap PC architecture, like 2 or 3 dual processor + 1 server.
My aim is to make faster computing with FEM hydrodynamic solver and faster
rendering/computing with openDX.
Does anybody have experience with opendx on cluster ? Is (or will be) opendx
parallelized to work easy on a cluster ?
I will be very gratefull about advice, experience, architecture example
etc...
Best regards,
