I built a system with 16 nodes (Gigabyte Motherboard, 2*P150) running FreeBSD. Interconnection network is at the moment 4 FastEthernet Hubs, so each node is equipped with 4 FastEthernet Ports and a "slow" Ethernet for network-booting. MPI (based on LAM) and PVM are up and running on FreeBSD-SMP. Especially thanks to Steve. He helped me a lot concenring my No-File-System- Option, the PCI-Brigde and the EIDE-harddisk...... Works fine, but I need to install the latest FreeBSD-SMP code. At the moment, I'm stuck on some FreeBSD-Snapshot and working on my Ph.D. Thesis..... What do you want to do with the system? Bye Gunther
