Output to database

Hi all,

I'm still very new to parallel computing, but I've successfully used PelicanHPC to build a cluster of 21 P3's & P4's and I've written a couple of MPI programs to run on the cluster.

I've been asked to build a database & set it up so we can output the results from the cluster to the database.

I've had a search of the forum but haven't been able to find anything about using a database with PelicanHPC.
I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is, so if you could point me in the right direction, or give me any other advise, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers,
John

Sorry, I don't use databases myself, so I can't help. I just write out results to plain text files, and process them later. I would guess that it would not be a great idea to install a database on a Pelican machine. It would probably work better to generate the results on the Pelican cluster, and then forward them on to a machine that is running a database, for processing there.
