I checked Science and Productivity and its not there -
However, before we do that - it might be worthwhile to consider what else do we need for clustering? It would be really great to see OpenSuse shipped on clusters of all sizes from the little guys to biggies but to make that easy the missing parts should be supplied.
Here's my first cut at a list....... - hearbeat (not sure its totally necessary but should be semi-easy) - OpenPBS http://www.openpbs.org/ - Oscar http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/ - OpenMPI http://www.open-mpi.org/
What else? http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/
openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering which turns a network of ordinary computers into a supercomputer. 'What is openMosix useful for?' /1/ openMosix allows you to join together multiple computers running the Linux operating system, and have them appear to the user as one large multiple-processor computer. For example, suppose you had two computers, A and B joined in an openMosix cluster. Without openMosix, if you ran two programs on A they would only get 50% of the CPU time each. With openMosix, one of the programs could migrate 'automagically' to B, so both processes would run at 100% CPU. As far as the user is concerned, A now behaves like a two-CPU SMP computer with twice the CPU power available. /1/ http://howto.x-tend.be/openMosixWiki/index.php/FAQ#.27What_is_openMosix.3F.2...
