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.
