Dear Marion, That's not what OSCAR is about. Take a look the OSCAR website at http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar
Your description might be valid if you are trying to describing a job schedular and your headserver is also running as a computing node. You might want to do some google search on open pbs or sun grid engine. Bests, --mj > On my cluster I am running a chemical application. Am I > right in saying that : > OSCAR dishes out pieces of the chemical program (that can > be parallelized) from the headnode to the compute nodes, and > then the compute nodes calculate their chunk of computations > and send it back to the headnode. This process repeats > itself as many times as is possible and necessary, but the > compute nodes always communicate to the headnode and not to > each other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
