freebsd cluster how to
hello there
i want to build a cluster -high performance computing- with some of my old pc's for my un project and it will be based on freebsd i was try with heart beat but it not usable for 40 pcs and serail links are very unusable there . question is how can i build it on FreeBSD box ? thanks all |

hello stukov
i said this cluster is a base -or platform- for mathematical and mechanical programs such as catia -or hi etc like it - and for running a hash db to crack passwordz and get timing to renew our codes for best speed and performance . and if it work we want to run some of genetics programs and ..... checking checking and learning ...... so is that possible ? |

Forget about heartbeat. Heartbeat will help you if you build a high-availability cluster (for example a Web server that has to be up and running 24/24 7/7 365/365). You should look at Torque, Xcat, and such.

I wanted to build a Beowulf cluster but i have no idea how should i start. I know the nodes communicate by message passing. I have openmpi and mpich ports installed.
Some useful guideline would help |

THANKS ALL
i wana use that for checking the passwd security -cracking my /etc/master.passwd eg- and some of programslike as catia |

t4y4n, building a cluster for cracking passwords is not going to be an easy task. You will need an application that works in parallel. There may be a version of
"John the Ripper" that works with rainbow tables. The difficulty might not be building the cluster itself but more finding or building the application that will run on it... I'm sorry I don't know anything about Catia. For sure, you will need MPI if you want to crack passwords in parallel. If you plan on having multiple users you will also need a resource manager. As I mentioned before there is no precise how-to on how to build an HPC cluster because they are all different. It all depends on your application (home brewed / commercia; serial / parallel) and on your user base.

ok thanks but i try it by my self :d

I'm designing a "cluster" computer rack for using "standard" motherboards...
Would like to know any interest/opinions... |
|
||||
What kind of application will you run on this cluster?

there is software, then there is hardware...
What I am working on is a HARDWARE chassis which will hold standard motherboards for a cluster or jbos (just bunch of servers) in a much smaller footprint than individual pc's (case/power supplies/etc...)... I built/owned/operated an isp business for 8 years, and i know that footprint costs money... Blade servers are the largest growth market presently in the computer market, but cost of blade servers are so high, my thinking is that a cost reduction using more availible parts could be marketable... I've been in the computing field for 25+ years, and so far, my best skillcraft is packaging... So, anyway, I am building a product, which in the faith of open source, I will release the design spec's like open source software, and rely on profit on those [not willing/not able] to "do it for themselves"... All I an wondering is thoughts from others... |

I am working in a HPC datacenter for almost two years now. I can assure you the needs are :
Less: - Footprint - Heat - Power consumption More: - Compute power - Storage You should definately boot diskless as hard drives always are the single point of failure in such an infrastructure (too costly to RAID all boxes)... Good luck with your project. If you need any insights let me know.

IBM Clusters
I worked at IBM Almaden Research Center for 7 years.
First 4 years doing custom control systems for the labs. Last 3 years in the Research Computing Facility. Almaden was the first IBM site to build/deploy clusters (RS6000), for which I played a minor part... But when it came to engineer a product for some of IBM's large customers, we kinda had a parting of the ways... IBM choose to go with the "Maximize Profit per Unit", whereas my group pushed for the "Maximum Performance per Unit"... Well, long story told short, the Suits won, we left, and I am the last "keeper of the flame" so to say... To further my own research, I built/owned/operated an ISP business with help from my former research buddies... I am now working on a "ComputeCenter" cluster/jbos product, which initially will house standard motherboards (currently $50 each at Fry's)... To the point (finally :-), I would like some feedback on interest in such a product, with thoughts on pricing limits, power supply n+1 requirements, internal chilling, stand alone versis 19inch rack cabinets, etc... thanx in advance to all who respond... :-) |
