I started the aformentionned thread a month or so back. Now things are getting |
| 2 |
on a roll. Thanks to Jimmy Rosen and Wilhelm Meier, I am presently writing |
| 3 |
up two documents to try to make this as clear and simple as possible for us |

Configuring a client for diskless operation (SSI): |

Configuring a server as a Beowulf headnode for such SSI clients with a |
| 10 |
selection of management/performance tools: |

I presently mostly ennumerate packages. My intention is to explicit a typical |
| 14 |
configuration for each component. Ideally, I will/would create a meta-ebuild |
| 15 |
that would pull most fo these tools and pre-configure most of the config |
| 16 |
files using a combination of scripts/global config file sourced by the |
| 17 |
script. |

Some of the aspects which will be eating up most of my time: |
| 20 |
ebuild for OpenMPI |
| 21 |
ebuild for lam-mpi 6.x (an expliocit requirement by my department, no comments |
| 22 |
on this please...unless you already have an ebuild ;) ) |
| 23 |
...learn how to configure all these tools to interact correctly together. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Obviously, any comments/contributions are more than welcommed! ;) |
