DONE !

here is the step needed

1. install package
2. install tinylogin.pet (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-2/)
3. edit /etc/hosts on each computer attached according to its address
sample:
from
127.0.0.1 localhost puppypc
192.168.1.1 pc2
192.168.1.2 pc3
192.168.1.3 pc4
to
127.0.0.1 localhost puppypc
10.0.2.15 superwoof1 -------------->set according to computer
192.168.1.1 pc2
192.168.1.2 pc3
192.168.1.3 pc4

4. create /home
5. run terminal type
tinylogin adduser superwoof
password
password

6. inside /home/superwoof ---->create mpd.host(list of all computer attached----> address:processor ----> 10.0.2.15:1 )
7. inside /home/superwoof ---->create .mpd.conf (secretword=password)
8. set user of .mpd.conf ---->type in terminal : chown superwoof .mpd.conf also make only user can open it from properties
9. inside /home/superwoof ---->create /home/superwoof/bin ---->for program, set path too
10. in terminal type
login superwoof
mpdboot
mpdtrace
mpdrun
mpdallexit

have a nice day...

Well done Master_wrong Smile

I am not 100% sure what we can do now . . .
Any plans?

Congratulations, very cool.

Who has 5/6 computers to create a supercomputer?
Let us know how you get on Smile

i just want to clarify...

puppy didnt have sshd installed, and the ssh in the package is wrong, cannot use it.

btw i already try installing sshd, set using root and try for real, it is running now.

@Master_wrong. I have read much over the years about Clusters from an architectural standpoint. All seems within reason, architecturally.

My missing understanding is in how it manages, dispatches, and then displays workloads. This comes from my base where I come from an Multi-Processor (MP) world with a single OS into a cluster world from an application(s) standpoint. MPs such as Intel/AMD/PowerPC etc sit within a single frame where the bus in integrated for the MPs operation.

Where I get a little tussle is when trying to describe to a Windows/X-desktop user, how work is accomplished in a disparate configuration. Maybe you can help by describing

whether the cluster console is or can be an X-windows desktop session?
Whether X-windows Linux applications are currently designed for cluster environments?
Whether Puppy OS "sees" all processors in such a way that if I ran TOP (the application) it would report/manage "all combined tasks" running across the cluster?
And, finally, can I run a multiuser X-windows sessions on a cluster system for as many users as I have logging in?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on these for me.
P.S. Recognizing that the answers might take up a lot of space in this post, you are welcome to PM me with the answers

@gcmartin

thanks for asking me, i didnt know myself, all i did was read pdf for ubuntu which i try to do in puppy linux.
but i can answer some of your question

- whether the cluster console is or can be an X-windows desktop session?
sorry i have no idea
- Whether X-windows Linux applications are currently designed for cluster environments?
not all but yes, dvd::rip is gui and can use cluster, but very few gui application have cluster capabilities [url] http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/cluster.cipp[/url]
- Whether Puppy OS "sees" all processors in such a way that if I ran TOP (the application) it would report/manage "all combined tasks" running across the cluster?
i wonder that too
- And, finally, can I run a multiuser X-windows sessions on a cluster system for as many users as I have logging in?
the point of cluster is using networked computer to assist doing 1 task on the server, the idea is if 1 task is done 1 hour with 1 computer then i can be done 0.5 hour with 2 computer, 0.25 hour with 4 computer. etc
for your question... i dont know

the problem is i got too excited last night and run remaster before closing cluster which makes the remaster fail. so i have to do it all over again.... grrrrr
