Beowulf High-performance Parallel Computing (HPC) Clusters

Beowulf High-performance Parallel Computing (HPC) Clusters

Spend my new year holiday testing and hacking PelicanHPC so we can applied into Centos :)

I can used PelicanHPC or Rocks Cluster (base on Centos) to create Beowulf Cluster, then we will not learn how really to configure and make it run.

PelicanHPC used a configuration script to create it's bootable CD. From that script we used it's as our checklist and steps what to do. Our draft notes
