They connected more than 512 Linux systems to solve some equations and
render a couple of films. Apparently they made it into the Guinness Book
of Records ...
Hope this helps,

1. help with linux clustering (BEOWULF)
Hi Everyone,
I would like to thank everyone for helping me with setting the new
netfilter script for my linux box (Redhat 7 with kernel 2.4.2). The box
is running very smooth without a glitch.
Now I know more about linux and its capability, I am even more
interested in learning more about it especially the linux clustering
capability. Let me describe what I would like to achieve and ask
for everyone advice whether it is feasible.
At the moment, I am running RedHat Linux 7 with kernel 2.4.2 as
a gateway (firewall and NAT) on a Pentium 233Mhz/64MB RAM
for my home network which connects to the Internet via a DSL
connection with a static IP address. I have 3 windows machines
sitting behind the firewall that connectto the Internet via NAT
from the Linux box. I am also running ssh server, sendmail, NTP
server and webmin on the gateway. My brother just gives me his
old PC (200Mhz/64MB RAM) and I would like to use this
opportunity to learn linux clustering and apply this to the gateway
for redudancy and hopefully many more.
I would like to be able to cluster the 200Mhz/64mb RAM machine
with my current 233Mhz machine. I am willing to reinstall the whole
thing from scractch in order to learn BEOWULF technology. The
way I understand about BEOWULF is that it is similar to
parallel computing. Therefore, am I correct in assuming that if one
of the box in a cluster dies, my gateway is still functioning. Does
it mean that I will have redudancy in the gateway (with the
exception of the DSL connection). I would like to learn more about
the hand-on with linux cluster. Could someone please point me
to the right direction?
Many Thanks....
David
