Re: [Oscar-users] Re: how to use OSCAR

[Stephen L. S. <sc...@or...>]

hi Aidil,

While OSCAR itself is intended for the HPC market - it can provide the
basics for building and configuring your "cluster" environment - it also
provides tools for admin and operation (like SIS, C3, etc). The C3 tools
will even work if you simply want to do "cluster like" operations across
your various home linux machines as they are not bound to a "cluster
architecture".

However, OSCAR does not contain tools to specifically build a
load-balanced web server farm.

That said, if you build an OSCAR module to do this, it could be used by
others AND more important it may bring you fame and fortune....  :^)
