Building an Inexpensive, Powerful Parallel Machine and Using It for Numerical Simulations (Linux Journal)
[Posted June 15, 2002 by corbet]
Here's
a
detailed Linux Journal article on creating a large number crunching
cluster.
"
Jobs on any node are started from the master node, which is the only
login place in the entire cluster. Scyld Beowulf software creates an
illusion of a single computer (master node) with many CPUs (those of
slave nodes). Monitoring slave nodes from the master node is easy with
a graphical beostatus utility or simply with top."
