Forget openMosix part. David Ramirez Just wanted to mention that openMosix - which is proposed in the book as an attractive component for the cluster, was discontinued in March, 2008. Right now I'm working with other parts such as Oscar, using the book more as a guideline than as a howto manual - nevertheless, it handles a very easy language and explains very clearly most concepts.
This book offers simple but realistic introductory examples along with some pointers for advanced use.OSCAR and Rocks, two comprehensive installation and administrative systemsopenMosix (a convenient tool for distributing jobs), Linux kernel extensions that migrate processes transparently for load balancingPVFS, one of the parallel filesystems that make clustering I/O easierC3, a set of commands for administering multiple systemsGanglia, OpenPBS, and cloning tools (Kickstart, SIS and G4U) are also covered. Guidelines for debugging, profiling, performance tuning, and managing jobs from multiple users round out this immensely useful book.. The book focuses on clustering for high-performance computation, although much of its information also applies to clustering for high-availability (failover and disaster recovery). Many businesses used to consider supercomputing beyond the reach of their budgets, but new Linux applications have made high-performance clusters more affordable than ever. A few of the projects introduced in the book include:MPI, the most popular programming library for clusters. Then, you'll learn about software options that can save you hours--or even weeks--of deployment time.Since a wide variety of options exist in each area of clustering software, the author discusses the pros and cons of the major free software projects and chooses those that are mos
