P95 and Linux clusters

2008-07-18, 01:15

Does any one know if p95 will run on a cluster. I work at a computer store and we have dedicated are store computers to running p95 but we where thinking of building a cluster to run p95 we have alot of p4s laying around and tons of ddr1 ram that could be used. We would probly use linux one of the employees here knows linux well. Any Thoughts

How are you interconnecting the computers? If through a standard network, it would be better to let each machine run it's own test. IFAIK.

You could follow Prime Monster project (search on the forum for infos): one server board with one hard disk, and n motherboards booting up via network card, sharing nfs space on the server disk and mounting virtual ramdisks.

well planned on lan but maybe gigabyte lan the second option posted by et looks good going to look that project up. Anybody know how fast 10 pentium4s 2.4 in a cluster would finish a number. I am somewhat new to p95 only realy ever used it for overclocking but now that i have acces to many computers it would be a fun learning project for a good cause. thanks for your help guys
