Clustering Help

[aznchowboy650]

I'm trying to cluster my computers but it says network not initialized also i changed the root password but in the system admin part the password doesn't work and my user id is 1000 while i need user id to be 0 to get full access how do i do that?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question, but there is a customised Knoppix called Cluster Knoppix that you might like to investigate.

What kind of cluster are you setting up: Beowulf, openMOSIX or jCluster?

I've used MOSIX before (QUANTIAN based on clusterKNOPPIX), but I never got a decent compiler to work with it. I could only run pre-compiled apps designed for MOSIX, such as Kandel.

I'd like to write my own code to run in parallel so I'm looking into jClusters. Take a look at

My students are learning java now, so writing code for a cluster in java would be great! The idea behind a jCluster is to use an existing Linux TCP/IP LAN and the networking libraries in standard java jdk write and run clustered apps without the need for a specialized kernel such as MOSIX (and Beowulf?).

started the start script of openmosix?

if not do
/etc/init.d openmosix start

then you should be able to start the cluster and/or the gui

Just wondering if anyone is actually doing something with their cluster....
