How to copy data from non-headnode.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:13:47 Z

The cluster in my office have 50 nodes, each nodes have their own hard disk. But only the headnode connect to the internet. I want to copy the data, which is stored in other nodes not in the headnode, to my desktop. How should I do. The procedure what I do now, first copy the data to the shared folder of the headnode, then copy the data to my desktop. Is there any straight way to direct copy to data to my desktop?

windows 2008 HPC server and storage and infiniband

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:03:02 Z

Hi.. I have been looking at setting up a oracle server and database storage using infiniband to give best performance, I have been getting conflicting advice on weather windows supports infinband, what we are looking at is setting up the following:

HP DL380G5 installed with Windows 2008 HPC with dual port volitair adaptor (Oracle 11g running)
HP DL180G6 installed with windows 2008 HPC with dual port volitair adaptor (Oracle database storage)

HP Volitaire Infiniband 24 port switch to connect server and server storage

I have also been told that the infiniband switch can not be connect to a ethernet network, I was looking at using ethernet NIC's in the windows servers so there can be connected to through ethernet.

I am new to both windows 2008 HPC and Infinband so any advise / help on confirming weather this solution will work would be appricated

Regards
Brian

What Programming Language is Windows written in?

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:00:48 Z

Hi, I have had this question for a long time...what programming language is used to code the Windows OS? Is it a C based language? I cannot find the answer to this anywhere, so if you know it would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Will Windows HPC Server 2008 serve storage over Infiniband?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:36:18 Z

Hi

I am master student , my research in grid service oriented computing

I want to design and implement SOA meta-scheduler resource in grid

does Windows HPC Server help me ?

my research is build scheduler that select set of resource or node to run application depending on job requirements

I read document about Windows HPC Server , I think it can help me , is that true or not ?

please help me with name of tools or stasndards that can help me

I think can I use HPCBP , JDSL

Thanks

HPC Source?

Take a look at this site which is giving out iPods in a weekly drawing to anyone willing to share some HPC industry-related info in a short survey. Looks like it might be a market research thing. But hey, free iPod, right?

Windows HPC vs other solutions

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:32:56 Z

Hi everyone!
I'm working at a reasearch project that will build fluid dynamics silmulatior. Since there are a lot of complex computations involved, the target device is a multicore machine/infrastructure. For the beginning we considered using 4 servers with 4 processor ( quad core ). We want to have acces to all CPU unit from the application domain and change the load ballance dinamically from our simulator. It will be very helpful to us if the OS does the management of the infrastructure and the sincronization between machines. Pracically I want a master OS that manages all the machines and has the capability of managing the task load ballancing on CPUs and also has and API to porgram against.
I want to be able, for example, to build a small app using .Net Framework, PLINK and PFX that can acces from the same application domain all CPUS and memory available on all servers.

Is the Windows HPC Server suited for such scenarios? Is there available an OS that allows such an approach. Are there alternatives ( Windows Server 2008 Datacenter used for clustering) ?

Thank you

Using Windows HPC Server for Academic Contest

Tue, 20 May 2008 19:00:04 Z

Hello,

I am writing on behalf of an undergraduate chapter of the ACM. A couple of our members would be interested in using Windows HPC Server to compete in the SC08 Cluster Challenge (http://sc08.supercomputing.org/?pg=SC08ClusterChallengeRules.html). Is there anyone on this board who could help us with this?

Tx.
