Associates, My partner and I are working on a clustering project to take GNU Octave, along with MatLab, and installing it on a reliable clustered environment. We are also trying to take advantage of the massive computing footprint to process legacy Fortran single-threaded applications within a much faster processing environment that can utilize multi-threaded technology applied to said single-threaded legacy apps.
The hardware footprint for this environment is a Rack 42-U enclosure including one master and 4 slave servers utilizing ASUS motherboards (AMD processors, 2x6 core ea.) with dual NICs along with a RAID-5 SAN server. We have setup the Slaves and the Master to utilize the SAN via a private 1Gb network. The Master and the Slaves servers are setup with Ubuntu 11.04 OS and the Slave servers are setup for PXE-boot from the Master server, utilizing TFTP, etc. We started using the Kerrighed Clustering solution but quickly determined that support for this product is thin and the solution is probably out-of-date. We have now come across the Oscar Clustering solution and are trying to determine if it can provide the processing we are looking for. Any input on this would be most valued. Your help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Spencer --------------- Spencer Whisenant Transmission and Distribution Research Research & Technology Management Southern Company Services Office: (205)257-6837 Cell: (205)473-1463 [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
