Easy Ubuntu Clustering

[navic]

I'm looking for an update on the Easy Ubuntu Clustering project - is anyone working on it anymore??

I am very interested in getting a working SSI with an updated Ubuntu distro... I played with some SSI live distro (can't recall the name at the moment) but it was from 2005 so NIC drivers on new hardware was a nightmare.

On a side note, I have no issue getting basic HPC cluster tech like MPI working on a base Ubuntu system but SSI being a kernel module I get lost quickly.

Thanks!

Well this is really great to know about Clustering, i am using Ubuntu from past 6 months and well i am enjoying lot and very curious to learn more about Ubuntu.

I'm also following this thread, I hope to see more updates soon, this is exciting software that can reduce development cost and time especially when clusters are needed to compile large projects; it would be so great to not have to create application specific software again and again.

unfortunately Linux clustering is not that active as we might want it.

OpenSSI -- is almost inactive
Kerrighed is "rather a bit alive".

The interest to the subject is not growing:

(you may add "linux clustering" or "ubuntu clustering" there)

Patching the kernel all these years were not that easy as life shows it. It is a pity that Linus Torvalds doesn't look towards clustering.

Things like global Process IDs, global file descriptors, global socket references, etc are not even discussed at kernel.org
