Parallel Processing is not currently part of the mainstream linux kernel.
I have an openmosix patched kernel at http:/gnuveau.net under open-source
software downloads.  It supports parallel processing and global shared
memory.  you could use nfs for the disks.  Not sure about the networking.

Enjoy,
Scott

IBM SerialRAID

2005-01-28 Thread shogunx 
Hi all,

Has anyone successfully inplemented an IBM SerialRAID card under the linux
kernel?  I know we have no code for it as of 2.6.10, but I figured that
someone may have a patched together module floating around somewhere.
These are typically used in pSeries and eSeries machines as (surprise) as
raid controller for SSA disk arrays.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
