Tony,<br><br>Usual, short advice is to start with RGB's Beowulf web page, which links to other things but particularly his own online docs:<br><br><a href="http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/beowulf.php">http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/beowulf.php</a><br>
<br>For starting out thinking about this subject, the wiki article:<br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_(computing)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_(computing)</a><br><br>Then you can write back to us with more specifics, e.g. what kind of application you have in mind (weather forecasting? Controlling a huge grid of flat screens? minimizing FPS for WoW?) and get more specific, directed advice. Also building one, budget matters alot (4096 dual socket quad core 4GHz liquid cooled? or half a dozen $150 ARM miniboards cobbled together in a suitcase?)<br>
<br>Good luck,<br>Peter<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 3:06 PM, mlsops <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://oper.ml">oper.ml</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<font size="-1">Hi guys,<br>
<br>
first of all, congrats to all of you for this mailing list.<br>
I would like to ask if any of you have a URL or a tutorial of
How to Build (from zero) a Beowulf Cluster and with what OS to Use
(Debian or CentOS).<br>
I need any material that would help me to build this cluster
from zero, because I already tryied once and had problems
compiling the kernel, so I stopped and now i'm trying again.<br>
Thanks to all of you, guys.<br>
<br>
Bug hugs and regards,<br>
Tony Miranda.</font>
