One thing I did a while back was to hook up all the research group's
desktop machines into a virtual cluster. In this case, they were high
end Mac Pros. I installed SGE and a shared filesystem and let 'em rip.
The virtual cluster jobs ran at a priority lower (higher) than normal
interactive
Jim,
I'm reluctant to expose my ignorance, but I think I have some experience
to share. And I don't believe this is a cluster issue.
My company -- and I do mean my company -- did 2-d multiphysics MHD
simulations up until about 4 years ago using our proprietary multiblock
domain
That sounds like a desirable outcome to me.

Not anymore, at least not in the HPC realm. We recently purchased
quad-socket systems with a total of 96 Intel cores/node, and dual socket
systems with 128 AMD cores/node.
With Intel now marking their "highly scalable" (or something like that)
line of processors, and AMD, who was always

A colleague got hold of 2x 4U servers with 56 cores and stacked them with
disk and memory then found a wheeled 9U
If anyone works with Dell kit I am happy to discuss thermal profiles and
power capping. But definitely off list.

I have a Precision 5820 in my office. It's only got one CPU(14 physical
cores), but it's more quiet than my HP SFF desktop PC. So yeah, I think
they can make something like that.
