Benchmarks on server cluster

[Issac Goldstand]

I've just recieved an OK to do some Benchmarks on a server cluster of 16+1 (master) dual 450 Mhz machines (master node is dual 650).  I plan on doing benchmarks and comparing perfornance for the following setups, so far:     Server cluster using httpd process on each individual node and front end round-robin scheme   Singe server on master node using MOSIX and  high volume of child processes   Trying to think of method to test optimal performance on Beowolf type cluster     I will also try to play around with different Apache-2 setups if I can figure out how to do so...   If people have any suggestions for other things to test, or ways to test it, please let me know.     Issac   Internet is a wonderful mechanism for making a fool of yourself in front of a very large audience.   --Anonymous   Moving the mouse won't get you into trouble...  Clicking it might.   --Anonymous   PGP Key 0xE0FA561B - Fingerprint: 7E18 C018 D623 A57B 7F37 D902 8C84 7675 E0FA 561B
