Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
A small introduction: |
| 4 |
We currently own 2 small clusters. One with 42 opteron diskless nodes (adelie |
| 5 |
gentoo linux) and another one with 24 pentium 4 diskless nodes (based on |
| 6 |
Kyron's wiki http://wiki.neuralbs.com/index.php/Gentoo_Diskless_Client). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
We have seen a nice upgrade in perfomance when we changed the 24 nodes cluster |
| 9 |
from Redhat to Gentoo. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The question: |
| 12 |
We are in discussion to make a cluster with around 1024 nodes for parallel |
| 13 |
scientific computing. I want to convince that Gentoo would be better on this |
| 14 |
cluster than RedHat! Most people around this project don't believe in Gentoo |
| 15 |
(obviously because they have never done anything with Gentoo). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Does anyone have really solid arguments/articles/proofs about the performance |
| 18 |
of Gentoo on clusters to help me convice the RedHat guys? |
| 19 |

Thanks |
