Linux Clustering with Ruby Queue: Small Is Beautiful (Linux Journal)
[Posted December 6, 2004 by ris]
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."
