Hello, OSCAR will help you to manage remotely your workstations in a completely automated way thanks to the SIS software stack.
While OSCAR is not planned for a dynamic cluster, you will be able to adapt it very easily, in particular with the C3 parallel shell that can be used for this kind of operations. PVM is included in OSCAR. Depending on your distribution, it should support Pentium and Pentium II processors. An image build with a PII should work on a PI while I never tested it (if I'm wrong, can a SIS developper correct me !!!). Please keep us informed of your progress and don't hesitate to ask for more [detailed] help...

I was considering using PVM? Harness? -- Benoit des Ligneris Ph.
