yeah, but that's been done for the most part too. For example, we did mpeg encoding in parallel for several projects and demonstrated that you could walk up to a node or set of nodes, power them off, and continue to get your data. I'm assuming you've all looked at condor as well. Sorry, I missed part of this discussion. You can't run a cluster for anything useful without addressing failures. It's a given, much like AC power, which is why we don't talk about it that much. ron Ron Minnich |Java: an operating-system-independent, rminnich@sarnoff.com |architecture-independent programming language (609)-734-3120 |for Windows/95 and Windows/NT on the Pentium ftp://ftp.sarnoff.com/pub/mnfs/www/docs/cluster.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
