They actually provide nothing, seem to be inactive and are most probably "controlled" by Cyberlogic, which is a commercial clustering service (this smells like an open source project gone closed...). > For this reason I way prefer Rocks Cluster > that is really a breeze to install, but they do not have the bootp > paradigm... Which comes back to my original post that started the thred. I wat to make an entirely _Gentoo_ based cluster. A good reason for this is that Gentoo well...is Gentoo, don't want/need to start the philosophical debate on why Gentoo is better than RHE(WS), CentOS and all on which Rocks is based... > each node is a full image on it's own, but managmenet is > centralized thrue the headnode. O_o.... now _that_ is something I would call inefficient. I can't immagine a 1024 node cluster running off 1024 images stored on one server. In any case, we're getting Off Topic, I wanna make this a Gentoo Kluster (C) (one may inster Kick Ass somewhere in there :P ). Moreover, I am _mandated_ to do this as part of my masters _and_ document this.... Document which I will of course make available to the Gentoo community. I'm almost thinking of looking onto either an ebuild or even a special "profile" for making the node's ROOT image (with a modified baselayout).... So, as always, if anyone can help out in either pointing to documents or sharing experience, I would be more than glad to put this together and really put Gentoo on the HPC map.
