	How to on building a High Performance Server on FreeBSD by Gerardo Paredes :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I am giving a course for students who are about to finish their undergraduate classes on Systems Engineering. We are trying to set up a High Performance cluster for mathematic applications. Does someone on the list know of a well written "howto" kind of document we can support whenever we get stuck at something.

Yes we do intend to use MPI, but i was talking about how to setup the cluster going through the NFS install, where to put /home, at the NFS server or locally?, if would be better to install the worker nodes as diskless, netbooting machines, or can we arrange a setup of fully installed FreeBSD7.0 workstation to use their resources whenever somebody is not using them? I believe this point hasn't been worked enough on the FreeBSD documentation, as good as the Handbook is, there isn't good documentation on how to setup a cluster on it.

Not a HOWTO, but I think it is one of the best I have been on HPC clustering on FreeBSD: "Building a High-performance Computing Cluster Using FreeBSD" http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/ You can also read other papers related to the subject at: http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/ Rayson > > > Gerardo Paredes > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
