Clustering commodity PC hardware - A web log
Hi all,
I recently bought myself a small cluster of x86 machines for rebuilding into a fully operating and useful system, for a personal project, and David and I agree that it's primetime material for a thread at HEXUS, so I'm going to republish my cluster 'blog here to spark some discussion about clustering. So that includes the easiest way to do it, the interconnect to choose, what hardware can be used, why you'd do it, how much it costs to run, software you'd run on one and anything else related to its construction.
So if you're interested in my cluster, or building your own, post away and I'll endeavour to help. There's more than just myself on these forums that have experience building and running them, so I hope the thread attracts those folks in (you know who you are!).
What follows is the first few posts to my cluster 'blog over the last week or so, and I'll cross publish in this thread whenever I update it in the future.
