[SSI-users] Dynamic Redundant cluster.

[Lucractius <luc...@gm...>]

Im looking for a way to run applications on a cluster that is likely to be=
=20
loosing and gaining nodes on a regular basis, having used openmosix and=20
discovering that migrated proccesses are lost if the starting node goes dow=
n=20
ive started looking elsewhere and OpenSSI seems like a possible soloution.=
=20
but i have to find out just if its capable of the specific requirements i=
=20
need.

1- nodes are going to be coming up and down frequently and at random. This=
=20
is a common use enviroment that is rarely used by anyone that im trying to=
=20
harness the unused power of, so i dont want all 32 machines in the cluster=
=20
just giving up on their proccesses cause out of random chance someone=20
decided to use the ONE machine thats been put in charge.=20

2- livecd boot. while i can install on these machines i want a simple=20
portable "drop and run" bootable image i can use to start the node up as a=
=20
member of the cluster and then remove once its running entirely off its=20
ramdisk image.

any comments and suggestions are welcome as id like to make progress in thi=
s=20
since it would be very useful for me to get this setup.
