however that's an error for generic clustering that is fixed
in HPC HOW-TO CVS:

thanks for that link!!  do y'all suggest 'generic
clustering' nowadays?

it depends Dan... depends on what you need actually.
say, you can build diskless stations with VMware on top and
WMware HA,
or you can build PVM or openmosix or something or
something...

...or ScalGrid 

the above link is just for the 'base' platform. Then, say,
you can do
the openmosix port and to contribute by this :-D
who knows ?!

I recommend a 'generic cluster' with a good queueing program
like
DrQueue to achieve similar results to OpenMosix.

ok, thanks.  ; )

i am looking into generic clustering. 

I want to thank all of you for your kind assistance, it's
really
appreciated.  nobody's really working on this on the forums.

Dan, sorry - probably i missed something from this thread.
can you plz to give a visibility on what you need of
clustering

what i want to do is cluster all my old pentium 3s and 2s
into a
cluster capable of distributing many-threded programs. 
right now I
have them booting diskless into a regular gentoo
installation.  I would
like it if I could have them all help each other out with
processing
power.  I can then use them for tasks such as distributed
compiling.  I
am also interested in simulated competitive evolution
experiments,
which would to very well running on multiple hosts
simultaneously.

mostly i just want a new toy, preferably with effective
bogomips in the
rage that i can't attain with just one commodity-level
computer.

ok so follow the hpc how to: http://www
.gentoo.org/doc/en/hpc-howto.xml
but modify for diskless which you seem to have got the hang
of.

distcc: http://www.ge
ntoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml
for compiling

for the competitive evolution experiments, have you written
them, are
they parallelized, if not a queuing system would allow you
to run many
jobs and maximise usage of the machines.

For anyone else interested I did an ebuild:
http://b
ugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69553

for drqueue I will stick up another shortly for the latest
version
which has a number of improvements, I'll also do a quick how
to as
I've made it easier to setup and use drqueue than for other
distros.

I'm all about of Fault Tolerant systems… But definitely
you need a
queuing system for your toy - Hanni suggested one - I will
try also 
generally It should work well even in your developed code
(I'm
thinking of simplified development since – ie of
selfish/byzantine
node behavior in FT space)

For all the rest hpc-howto is a right choice (please review
a cosmetic
bug for latest glibs for this document I sent you before),
even in
load balanced service oriented grids.
hum, can we think of virtual server as for LB for the grid
in a manner
for the hpc platform?

//
Btw – is anybody can say anything good about LVS? Our
*nix/DBAs are
using this with oracle, but seem it works poorly. I designed
my last
project to use F5 networks device + extended monitor.
Does anybody use LVS in grids?

FWIW, I've got plans to put together a doc for a clean setup
of a 
diskless cluster. I'm unhappy with our clustering
documentation, 
although it is better than nothing.

Once I finish the LTSP port to Gentoo (which starts as
standard diskless 
nodes), I'll probably write this doc up.

Thanks,
Donnie
