Sys Admin is an excelent way to describe the core aspects of configuring |
2 |
Gentoo for both HP and HA. |
3 |
|
4 |
Additionally explaining the best wasy to provide failover for HPC is also |
5 |
useful. |

Gentoo Cluster Handbook |

I. Sys Admin Requirements - What reader must know before moving forward |
9 |
(maybe describe clustering types here?) |
10 |
i) Networking options etc. |
11 |
ii) Disked vs Diskless |
12 |
iii) more... |
13 |
II. SysAdmin for Clusters - tools/support servers/etc |
14 |
|
15 |
III. HA Clustering - |
16 |
i) web/email |
17 |
ii) failover/etc |
18 |
iii) mySQL clusters |
19 |
IV. HPC Clustering - batch processing/etc |
20 |
i) MPICH |
21 |
ii) Distributed Compiling? distcc |
22 |
iii) Distributed rendering pvmpovray |
23 |
V. Intro to MPI - Merge the other MPI howto and add some? |
24 |
We need to cover all the different methods and possibly a comparison. |

26 |
Opinions? |
