Linux Clustering with Ruby Queue: Small Is Beautiful (Linux Journal)

This Linux Journal article shows how to use Ruby and SQLite to create Linux clusters. "Linux clusters have become the new supercomputers. The economics of teraflop performance built on commodity hardware is impossible to ignore in the current climate of dwindling research funding. However, one critical aspect of cluster-building, namely orchestration, frequently is overlooked by the people doing the buying. The problem facing a developer with clustered systems is analogous to the one facing a home buyer who can afford only a lot and some bricks--he's got a lot of building to do."
