Unfortunately i dont have a cluster running. But i (and i am sure several others on the list) would be more than wiling to help if u could get the mobos, ram and gigabit backbone.
At present, I don't have any spare hardware. I thought some of the list members are actually using clusters for their graphics work so if they could post a brief overall view of their system, that would help too. Right now I need to get some idea first of the whole setup. If it is a confidential company matter for those members, then no problem.
As per your estimate, what would be the cluster hardware equivalent for the following system below.
AMD Athlon X2 4200 (Dual Core). Asus A8N SLI Premiun. ( Has 2 x 1 GBit LANs) 2 x 1 GB DDR RAM. 2 x 160 GB SATA HDD with 8 MB cache. Leadtek Nvidia Quadro FX 3450 with 256 mb DDR RAM. Decklink extreme video edit card. Can handle multiple video and audio inputs and outputs with 10bit resolution. 2 Monitors for split screen. Cabinet with 500w SMPS.
Could the future ilug-bom meets have a demo session on clustering? We could rent a lab or look for one in a college? Just a simple how-to using 3 to 4 pcs.

Rony.
