Damm i was wrong, my comp is dual core and the increase might be swap afterall, sorrybtw:
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?
YES,memory was doubled too, interesting...
but it stay that way even after i disconnect, maybe false report
Thank CoroneIN, for now the best idea i can think is to learn cluster programming with it... @ reduced hassle and difficult setting-uphave 4 computers at home 5 if i count the 386 they gave me in for my work... I wanna try try try! uhmm.. what can i do with it ?

well.....That's what was in my mind, and surely it's the point?
HOWTO on what to do with a Puppy supercomputer?
for ppl who need to learn about supercomputing or programming and many of them may need distro which easy to boot and setup so they can just learn just to program or even need help to setup one themself, that's what to do with puppy on supercomputer.
surely this will not help casual user, but every distro has its great point, and i find puppy has a great advantage on this sector... at least for a learning tool.
Thank lobster,One of the exciting Puppy places is pioneering and leading edge. Docs and pics and stories of your setup and experience are always of great interest. Smile
yes I think puppy is perfect for future computing, just few decades ago ram was just barely megabyte... so next few decades who know how much terrabyte ram we will have, and most of that ram will surely goes unused by todays program.
just simple luci245 look, atm.What will you call your first Puppy Supercomputer? Will you put a Puppy sticker on each node. How many nodes do you need to appear on this list? http://www.top500.org/ You might start with the worlds smallest supercomputer but what will you inspire . . . Very Happy
i wont even dream of entering top500 cmon lobster...
but maybe you can learn to program them using puppy
i'm still try to create small luci245, it really has great adventage...
1. setting hostname at bootup that's really really great thing you know, the hostname and the list of /etc/hosts must correspond .
2. can install from multiple distro package
My goal for the project is
1. make puppy cluster computer ---> half done, cluster are connected but having difficulty compiling program and running.... may need gcc and setting the path... since file mpicc are exists in usr/lib/mpich/bin but rox says not found
2. setting all cluster from server ----> half done, i have set scp but since i forgot to include /etc/mpd.conf then it doesnt work, if it was included then it will run.
3. automatic setting maybe scan port 22 then scan 1 by 1 each cluster and set their setting without asking password.
but now you have to edit each cluster for the data.
thank you.
