Star-HPC
 

Hi

I am currently investigating how to build a good cluster of computer in order run Star in parallel.

Does anyone have experiance one what does performe the best: each node in the cluster should be a single CPU computer or Dual CPU computer ?

What about the parallel speed up have been obtained ?

What kind of network have been used ? (Ethernet 100 or 1000 or ???)

Comparison between PC system (Inlet/AMD CPU) and other UNIX kind computer nodes like (HP, SUN, Compaq) ?

Kind Regards

Roued
