Good luck. :) Just FTR, we are working dozens of self-contained computationally-intensive FORTRAN jobs which do little i/o and run for c.30hrs in about 100MB of RAM. We're using a cluster of 4x2x1GHz PIIIs running 4.3R. I've looked at GNU Queue which doesn't port very cleanly, and I'll be looking at the just-opensourced Sun Grid Engine stuff. I'll report progress to -cluster. -- Bob Bishop (0118) 977 4017 international code +44 118 rb@gid.co.uk fax (0118) 989 4254 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
