If you'll go for MPI I think the setup won't be different from any other UNIX, so any documentation will apply. Yes we do intend to use MPI, but i was talking about how to setup the cluster going through the NFS install, where to put /home, at the NFS server or locally?, if would be better to install the worker nodes as diskless, netbooting machines, or can we arrange a setup of fully installed FreeBSD7.0 workstation to use their resources whenever somebody is not using them? I believe this point hasn't been worked enough on the FreeBSD documentation, as good as the Handbook is, there isn't good documentation on how to setup a cluster on it.

Not a HOWTO, but I think it is one of the best I have been on HPC clustering on FreeBSD: "Building a High-performance Computing Cluster Using FreeBSD" http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/ You can also read other papers related to the subject at: http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/ Rayson > > > Gerardo Paredes > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

I want to use FreeBDS as my web server with load balancing solution for the best performance. Is IPVS is the best or another? Thanks in advance.
