Post: This what you want to do has no improvment to the progressing perfomance of the BOINC applications and needs a lot of code rewriting, so I think this would not implemented. I didn't want to do any changes to S@H (and I don't do, so no C/C++ programming) I only want to do easy cluster (do me that is easy to do because now days there is many ISO setup packets where to start and some scripting & address setups to write, so no need to build again programs). Of corse I test cluster with programs what is in ISO packets (like http://clusterknoppix.sw.be/ and so on) and that computing power is not so good for Bonk or to other power hungry application, I only want to see if I can do it :-) (that cluster I mean, if Seti works then better...) |

Post: I'am not that good C++ programmer to to that like changes to Seti@Home (but that's someone else's job to do:) and I had been using client from as start as it was possible so I now what Seti@Home tryes to do with client computer but I didn't want to do calculatin so is makes one calculating in all nodes (1/4=4 times faster), I mean that if I get system to clustering and I run S@H on node 0 (Nodes are 0-3) so do S@H sees other nodes like other CPU so it can run it 4/4 (slower but 4 in same time in node CPU&RAM and ther is no need to useless hardware)... I have no other scientic what I want to test cluster system (it will be only test about clustering, it will not be running 24/7/365) and system will not be as powerfull as 'real' clusters. Heh, I try learn something new every month (I get rush sometime, 2003 it was Earthships http://koti.mbnet.fi/earths1/ , summer it was fixing car, end of july it was barbie house to my little girl, last month it was fixing car panels). Pictures about 'projects' are in with blog : http://www.myspace.com/tare69 . - Tare |

Post: Yes it can be better thing to to but I like to try Beowulf system because I have 4 small (useless:-) pc's on my corner (or 3 and one motherboard+CPU+RAM+power without hd and...) and I want to keep power user as small as I can, no HD&CD&GPU. Of corse it is easy to put all 4 to running from harddriver but I want also to learn to use Linux and also clustering. I'am so Windows user than it can be (from about middle of 90's, before 100% Amiga user, Windows sucks but I'am 100% with it now and can't get rid of it :). - Tare |

Post: I think that somebody has asked this allready but I ask again: Can Seti@Home run in Beowolf system so it runs like many CPU system (in 2 cores = Two Seti@homes, 1 mother + 3 child = 4 or 8 if there is 2 cores or 16 if quad or 2x4Cores *4 = 32...). I want to build small Beowolf system to test and learn about Linux using (I have 3 smaller machines what I can rip to this project) but I have no other science projects (I have been loyal to Seti@Home from begining :) so it is only right thing to do... This Microwolf system : http://www.calvin.edu/news/releases/2007-08/microwulf.htm seems nice hardware system but I have no money to put new hardware so I do it from old different pieces :-) - Tare |
