SSI-OSCAR is not available for oscar-5.1 but you can still directly install Kerrighed (http://www.kerrighed.org/).
If you need more information, please free to contact me or the Kerrighed team directly.

Most OSCAR clusters are run using a queue based head node, and individual jobs are given to a particular subset of nodes with one node acting as "boss" for that job. It might be (depending on speed-up on a multi processor system), that this is what you will want to do in practice. But it is not what you are thinking of. There is a now somewhat old project called SSI oscar which uses the Kherighed SSI kernel to do what you are asking about here. However, I do not know the current status of that project, or where its documentation now is. The old page seems to be gone.

The transcoder is a mono-threaded java program reading some files (as a whole) and generating some other files. Although each transcoding job cannot be splitted, I would like to use OSCAR in order to transparently manage a cluster if linux computers as a single computer, capable of executing many transcoding jobs in parallel on different cores. Ideally, I would like to see the entire cluster as a single super-computer with a single IP address, so that I can 1) FTP-put a input<N>.zip archive containing the source files to be transcoded somewhere on the super-computer 2) FTP-get from the super-computer an output<N>.zip archive containing the transcoded files My question is: how hard is this to achieve with OSCAR ? Is it OSCAR well suited for the purpose I described ? Thank you in advance for your help.
