SuSE 10.0 boot problems with CPU changed 2353

OK, thanks.
Yeah. My university has a parallel cluster which I have access to. About 30 SGI Altix, 200 dual core Xeons, 130 quad core Xeons (just installed) and 1600 more nodes planned soon.
My problem is their queueing system. The nature of my work requires hundreds to thousands of short-ish runs, rather than one behemoth run. As such I have to queue hundreds to thousands of times, which bumps up the "apparent" processing time a lot.
Consider that a typical job of mine that takes about 5 minutes to run on a P4 1.7GHz CPU. Sometimes queue times are 45 minutes...
Michael B. Johnson And there's the flaw in your buttumption: Bash is merely the default shell on many linux systems. It is by no means the only shell available. Linux users can choose from...
The problem with Beowulfing is that my source codes have not been adapted to run in asynchronous parallel mode yet. Which means that slow CPUs will bottleneck the whole run.
On Thu, 31 Aug 2006 01:11:00 +0200, Michael Heiming I disagree. I believe that Bashisvery definitely closely related to Linux. For example, I believe it would difficult for newbies to interoperate with the...
So far I have found the most cost effective solution to be an overclocked Intel D 805 CPU. I overclocked it from 2x2.66GHz to 2x3.33GHz and it has been running at ~2x100% CPU utilisation for almost a solid week with no problems. I am using DDR2-667 RAM.
People have managed to overclock this monster to 2x4.0GHz, but IMVHO the premium you need to pay for quality DDR2-800 RAM-mobo + water cooling offsets the returns you get on a faster CPU. For the price of one 2x4.0GHz system I could probably get two 2x3.33GHz systems.
