The next generation of software solutions for high performance computing offered by PAMS Computer Operations is a Red Hat Linux based Beowulf distribution called NPACI Rocks. We are phasing out the very old NCSU Scyld distribution in favor of this newer and more powerful software. The goal of this short document is to provide some instructions about installing and realmifying the Rocks distribution.
The new software contains many features. Many of which are much more advanced and mature when compared to the NCSU Scyld Beowulf distribution. The software contains a web based monitoring tool, MPICH, PVM, PVFS, OpenPBS, the Sun Grid Engine, etc. One of the major goals of this project is easy maintenance, and it is pretty easy to install and maintain.
