I've seen some academic researches on this direction, with good results.
Some computations can be expressed by GPGPU, but it is still a restrict
number of cases. If is not easy to solve problems using MapReduce, solve
some problems with SIMD is harder.
Ok.. Thank you all for your time.. I'll keep searching.
Best regards.

Hadoop streaming can do this, and there's been some discussion in
the past, but it's not a core use case. Check the list archives.

I don't think running hadoop on a GPU cluster is a common use
case; the types of workloads for a hadoop vs. gpu cluster are very
different although a quick google search did turn up some. So this
is probably not the best mailing list for your question.

Hi all.
I'm writing to you to ask for advice or a hint to the
right direction.
In our department, more and more researchers ask us (IT
administrators) to assemble (or to buy) GPGPU powered
workstations to do parallel computing.
As I already manage a small CPU cluster (resources managed
using SGE), with my boss we talked about building a new
GPU cluster. The problem is that I have no experience at
all with GPU clusters.
Apart from the already running GPU workstations, we
already have some new HW that looks promising to me as a
starting point for a GPU cluster.
- 1x Dell PowerEdge R720
- 1x Dell PowerEdge C410x
- 1x NVIDIA M2090 PCIe x16
- 1x NVIDIA iPASS Cable Kit
(Dell forgot to include the iPASS adapter for the R720!! :-D)
I'd be grateful if you could kindly give me some advice
and/or hint to the right direction.
In particular I'm interested on your opinion on:
1) is the above HW suitable for a small (2 to 4/6 GPUs)
GPU cluster?
2) is apache adhoop suitable (or what could we use?) as a
queuing and resource management system? We would like the
cluster to be usable by many users at once in a way that
no user has to worry about resources, just like we do on
the CPU cluster with SGE.
3) What distribution of linux would be more appropriate?
4) necessary stack of sw? (cuda, hadoop, other?)
Thank you very much for your valuable insight!
Best regards.

Anybody on this, please?
