second that suggestion--rocks rocks. but it really shines when you have a lot of nodes coming and going and a need to do large-scale infrastructure management, have a built-in monitoring and batch queuing software, etc. if you're just doing a little 4-node cluster to run a bunch of jobs for a single user, it's pretty overkill. i'd just use your distro of choice and make sure fast fileservice is available. that's how we did it back before clustering was a buzzword, in the 90's. i had no clue what SPM was so i didn't answer before, but it doesn't sound to me like you need any cluster specific software at all. especially not something as complicated as mosix or SGE, er, OGE? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
