Hi,
I'm at the Computational Chemistry unit at the University of Nottingham.
We have just installed a 48-node dual Athlon cluster. Its running Redhat
with the SCore software (http://pccluster.org/) and Sun Grid Engine. 16
nodes have myrinet, the rest have only ethernet.
It is however, at the moment, remarkably unstable :-(. The main node
crashes every so often with no messages in the log. The suspects include
dodgy hardware and not enough cooling. The hardware of the main node has
just been replaced so we should know soon if that was the problem.
As for what it's being used for - well - chemistry!
Ben
