[openMosix-general] Mixed CPU type workloads

[Kevin N. C. <ke...@se...>]

Hi all.  Putting my cluster back together over a powerline (14MBS) 
connection.  Plan on running ECC2 (a much smaller footprint DC program 
than Seti (450K vs. 13M)) on the cluster.

One problem:  I have optimized executables for my various platforms 
(PII, PIII, and Athlon XP).  The Athlon XP executables die when running 
on a Pentium.

Should I just divide my machines up into two different clusters?  One 
for PIIIs and one for XPs?

The performance differnce is only about 2%.  Suppose I could live with 
the hit if there is no other way.

Opinions please.
