[ilugd] ilug-d's first ad-hoc, on-the-fly supercomputer
Hi all, I think, for starters we can do what has been done by flashmob.Then after we've gained some experience with this we can go on to other fields like, Genome/Gene decoding..etc. So LINPACK it is. Next, we could even go on to create our own ISO, instead of using flashmob. Lets have a discussion on this on the day of the meeting(whether all agree on flashmob+LINPACK combination.) The Flashmob website has also put up a basic requirement for participating systems.I think we also need to do this, and maybe be a little more stricter to prevent a flashmob on our venture. Also I propose that we rename this thread to something like ILUGD-SC or ILUGD-Cluster:XXX where xxx could be the sender's specific topic. Regards, Shehjar __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

you could read thru the article at the url above. i don't have *any* supercomputer cluster howto skills, yet. abhishek on this list had some ideas, but he's migrated to hyderabad. am sure there are others on this list who could show us how to do this. i know that there's a cd of knoppix, called 'clusterknoppix' that does an amazing thing. pop copies of the cd into each pc connected on a network and boot them to create your on-the-boot cluster supercomputer. ymmw. sandip, do you think you could help on this? supreet has experimented a bit with clusters i recall. who all would like to research and volunteer to set this up, please? i think this is a fantastic idea. a volunteer, weekend, instant supercomputer. a maggie, two-minute google. a supercomputer for the heck of it.

RE: [ilugd] ilug-d's first ad-hoc, on-the-fly supercomputer
just read the faq on flashmobcomputing. http://www.flashmobcomputing.org/misc/faq in 1998, in germany the fire department blew snowy-cold air into the room to keep the computers cool! yeouch! that means, we need a building with enough pre-existing computers, loads of spare plugs, and good power supply to take the load. it also depends on how big our cluster is. for instance, even if we do this with say, 50 to 100 pcs from volunteers from ilug-d, it is worth it, and a moment in history. the newspapers and press will cover it. i also wonder how it will benchmark against india's existing supercomputers. :-) LL ps: i mentioned i have no knowhow about clusters etc, but wish to explore this. also, they are doing this with knoppix, as i had guessed in my previous email. so even windoze users can bring their pcs, network them, and run a live boot cd of clusterknoppix to create a supercomputer. translation: no techie knowledge required for participants and volunteers. just bring pc. though we would need one or two guys who handle the logistics and supercomputing benchmarking, etc. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
