Greetings, We have done 64-nodes in a simultaneous install - a number of times on two different cluster configs... One cluster has dual-P3 450 and the other is single-P4 2gig processors (1.7gig head node) - both installed over fast ethernet (100BT) using a non-blocking switch.
While I have heard of 256-node builds - the one I am most familiar with staged the builds in node groups <256. To paraphrase from another email - fat enough pipe and fast enough head node and OSCAR can easily scale into the 256+ node range... :^) stephen Jason Brechin wrote: > > The maximum that would be easy to install with OSCAR would be something > like 253 (because of IP addresses), but there is no true maximum.
