Unfortunately, I am not quiet because I'm busy working on a Gentoo |
| 5 |
cluster, though I wish I was. Perhaps one of my graduate students can |
| 6 |
pick-up the task of looking at a small Gentoo cluster. I am excited at |
| 7 |
the prospect of using Gentoo for clusters for the optimization. However, |
| 8 |
the cluster management tools really need to be there, in force, to get |
| 9 |
me to move away from what I use today. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Perhaps one aspect of this list, just to get things perked up a bit, |
| 12 |
could be a discussion of adding to the Gentoo HPC How-To. I think this |
| 13 |
is a great first start, but it is very, very basic. The biggest part of |
| 14 |
managing clusters is managing them _as_ a cluster: log collection, node |
| 15 |
monitoring and event reporting, cluster node rebuilds, software |
| 16 |
management, user management, high-performance filesystems, compiler |
| 17 |
management, user environment management and updates, backups, and the like. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
With the extreme flexibility Gentoo offers, it would be impossible to |
| 20 |
discuss all of the possibilities for all of what I mention above. |
| 21 |
However, picking current best-of-breed applications and adding them to |
| 22 |
this document would add value to the project. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Just some thoughts. |

| Sometimes when lists are quiet, that means everyone on them is busy |
| 36 |
