OK, that's good to know! Is there a packages.txt file on the pelicanHPC website then? I did not see it there.
Anyway, perhaps you could advise me. Until recently I had used openMOSIX (QUANTIAN) and MPI (parallelKNOPPIX) with C++ for Scientific Computing. That was when I had a simple cluster made up of 25 Pentium IIIs. Now I find myself with a hybrid cluster of 25 dualcore 64bit PCs, is MPI still the best solution?
I was thinking of using parallelJava or a pyMPI, but what about a 64bit OS? PelicanHPC comes in 32bit and 64bit flavors, right? Would I see any gains in processing speed using a 64bit OS?
I've used openMOSIX to cluster 25 Pentium III PCs. I've used parallelJava to run my code on mutilple cores in one PC. How do I get all 50 cores to work together?
What do you think?
TIA,
AJG
