Using MPICH to Build a Small Private Beowulf Cluster (Linux Journal)

[Posted September 20, 2002 by ris]

This Linux Journal article shows how you can build a small Beowulf cluster using MPICH. "Our new Beowulf cluster consists of a private network of eight systems dual-booting between Windows 2000 Professional and Red Hat 7.1. Each computer has a single AMD 1.4GHz Athlon processor, 512MB RAM, a 30GB hard drive, a 64MB NVIDIA video card and 100Mb Ethernet with switching hub (did I say that our administration and school board were kind to us?). We are using the current version of MPICH (1.2.2.3) as our MPI library."
