[ILUG] Beowulf System Assembly

[Mark]

Just finished about two hours ago..  Not too bad some advise 
though have at least 500MB hard drives in each node.  I ended up 
hitting my head of a number of walls for lack of space(only 160MB).
At the moment I have pvm and pvmpov up and doing ray tracing.

Check out the site www.beowulf-underground.org web site it has 
some very good links.

The site I worked from mainly was 
www.cris.com/~rjbono/html/pondermatic.html
this is a very good guid to setting up a basic cluster with step by 
step instructions to setting up pvm and pvmpov.

Also the beowulf mailing list is very good and the people on it are 
very helpful.

sorry it took me so long to reply but I spent yesterday rebuilding 
the cluster now up to five nodes (and I only blew up one along the 
way)..

Let me know how it goes and if you need any more help.
