[Beowulf] getting used to beowulf and building small cluster

[Rohit Dhamal]

Hello, 


        My name is Rohit Dhamal and I live in India. I am a medical biotechnologist, now working on computational Biology to generate simulations and sequencing. I am new to linux and have shifted recently from windows. I am in need of a large computational power and want to build a high performance cluster for my simulations. the most simplest simulations require 3 months to complete on core2duo 1.67 ghz at 2 gb ram. I have no idea of cluster computing, I am expert in windows though. can anybody help me building a cluster step by step help on getting and installing packages and setting up the cluster and its configuration? 


I would also need help on how to post on the website, since I am very new to the format, website uses. I am used to GUI. I want to start a new thread for my requirement. 


Thank you. 



Regards,

Rohit Dhamal
