Ok. I was just throwing out ideas (generate a little traffic on this list if nothing else). It might be possible to do a simple implementation by making the headnode the metadata server and the compute nodes the data servers. It could work for scratch space on small clusters; I'm sure it would be a bad idea for longer term storage. > About BLCR and IB, those are very good ideas but the later one of course > requires that the student can access some IB hardware, which may be > non-trivial. > Agreed. Although, IB hardware is getting cheaper and cheaper. At $125/nic SDR (mellonox) and $100/switch port (flextronics). It's cheaper than good ethernet. > IPMI support could also be a good project but also require access to specific > hardware. > That would be nice too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
