Whats that live cluster distro


Recommended Posts

We have testing at my school this week (And part of next) and theres only 8 students in the school in the morning, because you don't NEED to be here then.

Anyway, We have ermmm.... spent hours, and guessed the admin password for the BIOSes of the 20 or so machines in the library.

They're all set to BOOT ON DHCP (network) FIRST.

What's the name of a live distrobution that allows me to boot other computers off of the network in this fashion?

I used to use it on my home cluster, but I have a networked hard disk sharing kinda thing that works better.

This is going to be one freakin cool cluster :woot:

All pentium 3s... but still..... some serious bogomips to be dealt with here.....

Speaking of which, any benchmarks I should run? (eg. linpack, the like.....)

:bounce:

I'll probably be be using CLUSTER KNOPPIX, shown in the link above.

However, it runs on openmosix, so while it should be insanely easy to set up, I can't just make a single process run faster, as it divies up the processes...

Which will make the single process run faster, because the proccesor is not doing the other process as well.... but still.... Even with 20 computers, there will be only a medium sized speedup.... :(

Still looking for better.....
