Looking to create a personal supercomputer. Have three Dell M100E, each with 16 blades as well as 12 Dell R630.
Has anyone here use Suse to create one?
Any recommendations? Anyone know of any documented cases?
Any help or info is welcome.
Not so many openSUSE examples but, our commercial parent – SUSE – has products supporting Linux Clusters:
- Definition – Linux Cluster: <https://www.suse.com/suse-defines/definition/linux-cluster/>;
- openSUSE SDB for High Availability: <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:High_Availability>;
- Large Beowulf Cluster: <SUSE and DALCO have installed Europe's largest Beowulf cluster | SUSE;
