<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to know that in order to achieve 1
GFLOP what would the hardware requirements for a Linux cluster
be?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am about to begin on making my first cluster
for research in mainly two fields which are parallel input / output systems
and the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I stay in Mumbai (INDIA) and am finding it
difficult to get likeminded people to work on these projects. Linux in
general is used by very few people here. The inadequate availability
of service and support professionals and training for Linux probably is the
cause to this. My entire research work is done with the availability of
resources on the Internet and through other people working on such projects.
Are there any other people working on similar projects? Please do write
to me at <A href="mailto:nesol@bol.net.in">nesol@bol.net.in</A>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help / suggestions regarding the above
will be highly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
