Hey folks,
I just went through the archives trying to find some info on this but
did not come up with much other than it seems there are a few experts
here on the list.
I have no experience with clustering and have just taken over a Stem
Cell Research Lab that has a Grid Engine cluster. I have not yet dug
into the details of Grid Engine (only been here a week now) but am
just trying to get up to speed on clustering in general.
I was just looking at Red Hat's site and they have this HPC thing
http://www.redhat.com/promo/mrg/ but damned if I can find any actual
details on it there - that data sheet they link to is just a bunch of
marketing gobble-de-gook as far as I can make sense of it anyway.
Quick question : what are Red Hat using to do that, and can CentOS do
the same thing? How hard is it to configure? How does it compare to
Grid Engine?
I have to say I'm a bit hesitant about Grid Engine because of the
whole Oracle takeover. I just don't trust Oracle.
Basically I'd like to get up to speed really quickly on different
clustering technologies, and maybe even set up a CentOS (or
Scientific) based cluster in a sandbox to play with.
I guess - looking for reading to get up to speed on clustering, and
wondering what my options are with CentOS, RHEL and Scientific.
thanks,
-Alan
