Currently just looking at it... |
| 2 |
we're currently running mix of older RedHat 7.2 based and Rocks based |
| 3 |
clusters. |
| 4 |
we just got funding to build a new cluster, and are looking at using |
| 5 |
Apple G5 powermacs with Infiniband like the Virginia Tech cluster. |
| 6 |
While I like the ease of building, and managing clusters with Rocks, I |
| 7 |
don't like that its based on RPM, and also they don't seem to have any |
| 8 |
desire to support platforms other than x86 based, even though there has |
| 9 |
been a lot of interest on the mailing list for PowerPC support. |
| 10 |
What cluster management tools are you using? |
| 11 |
What platform(s) are you running? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I got interested in this as I noticed activity is flaring up on |
| 14 |
gentoo-osx, and it'd be great if we can get portage working well on OS |
| 15 |
X, and be able to use it to roll out clusters easily. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any interest out there in beefing up cluster support on Portage-based |
| 18 |
platforms (i.e. Gentoo-AMD64, and OS X (if portage becomes well |
| 19 |
supported)) out there???? |
