Hi Ankush
Glad to hear that your MPI and cluster project were successful.
I don't know if you would call these "mathematical computation"
or "real life applications" of MPI and clusters, but here are a
few samples I am familiar with (Earth Science):
Weather forecast:

Climate, Atmosphere and Ocean circulation modeling:

A couple of other areas:
Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Method, etc:

Thanks everyone(esp Gus and Jeff) for the support and guidance. We are
almost at the verge of completing our project which could have not been
possible without all u guys.
I would like to know one more thing, what are real life applications
that i can use the cluster for (except mathematical computation)? Can i
use if for my web server, if yes then how?

Excellent answer. One addendum -- we had a really nice FAQ entry
about this kind of stuff on the LAM/MPI web site, which I was
horrified to see that we had not copied to the Open MPI site. So I
copied it over this morning. :-)
Have a look at these 3 FAQ (brand new) entries:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#overwrite-pre-installed-ompi
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#where-to-install
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#do-i-need-a-common-filesystem
Hope that helps.

Hi Ankush
Jeff already sent clarifications about image processing,
and the portable API nature of OpenMPI (and other MPI
implementations).
As for "mpicc: command not found" this is again a problem with your
PATH.
Remember the "locate" command? :)
Find where mpicc is installed, and put that directory on your PATH.
In any case, I would suggest that you choose a central NFS mounted
file system on your cluster master node, and install OpenMPI there,
configuring and building it from source (not from yum).
If this directory is mounted on all nodes, the same OpenMPI will be
available on all nodes.
This will give you a single standard version of OpenMPI across
the board.
Clustering can become a very confusing and tricky business if you
have heterogeneous nodes, with different OS/Linux versions,
different MPI versions etc, software installed in different
locations
on each node, etc, regardless of whether you use mpiselector or
you set the PATH variable on each node, or you use environment
modules
package, or any other technique to setup your environment.
Installing less software, rather than more software,
and doing so in a standardized homogeneous way across all
cluster nodes,
will give you a cleaner environment, which is easier to understand,
control, upgrade, and update.
A relatively simple way to install a homogeneous cluster is
to use the Rocks Clusters "rolls" suite,
which is free and based on CentOS.
It will probably give you some extra work in the beginning,
but may be worthwhile in the long run.
See this:

My two cents.
