[Oscar-users] OSCAR on Workstation

[Dr. Michaelangelo Salcedo]

I have 1 server (PII) and 16 nodes (PI).  I would like to see if I can install OSCAR in a workstation environment: students may use the workstation during the day with X-windows and applications and during our class or evenings turn the workstation network into a dedicated OSCAR cluster.  This way we get more use from our equipment.  I wanted to do this before but was told that OSCAR is for a dedicated cluster.  Also, if I create the image for the nodes on a PII, it will NOT work as an image on the PI nodes! Any advise.  I was considering using PVM? Harness?
