We are trying to set up a High Performance cluster for mathematic applications. Does someone on the list know of a well written "howto" kind of document we can support whenever we get stuck at something. > What mechanism do you plan to use for parallel computation? If you'll go for MPI I think the setup won't be different from any other UNIX, so any documentation will apply. Yes we do intend to use MPI, but i was talking about how to setup the cluster going through the NFS install, where to put /home, at the NFS server or locally?, if would be better to install the worker nodes as diskless, netbooting machines, or can we arrange a setup of fully installed FreeBSD7.0 workstation to use their resources whenever somebody is not using them? I believe this point hasn't been worked enough on the FreeBSD documentation, as good as the Handbook is, there isn't good documentation on how to setup a cluster on it.
