clustering with linux

["Vishal Rao" <vishal128@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

welcome back linux-india...

i wanted to make a mention of "clustering" in linux...
anyone out there trying this thing out?
i downloaded "beowulf" as well as "mosix for linux" (mosix was recently 
changed from copyright to copyleft...gpl v2 ) and i am about to try 
installing/running it on two 486s with ethernet cards...

there are a LOT of companies/universities and just plain bored people making 
clusters out there!

i especially want to get the attention of Sachin, the guy who works for 
CDAC...(hope i remember the name correct) I know CDAC does stuff like 
high-performance computing and parallel computing etc etc... Linux with 
clustering makes it cost-effective (and we all know why!) to build a 
SuperComputer using a "cluster" of lesser capable (and cheaper) 
machines...the end result is a "computer" which can match speeds of any CRAY 
or Intel powerhouse out there! people are using it for various forms of data 
analysis and computations...

if you are someone who works for CDAC or knows someone else who does then 
please please forward this email...I'm pretty sure that CDAC are already 
aware of this thing kinda thing but i wanted to let them know just in case!

anyone knows the status of the "Param" supercomputer work they are doing? (i 
havent been following the situation...)

here are a few links for you to look at and read about this thing called 
"clustering" with linux...

have fun
regards
vishal
