LHC@home

hi out there ...

does anybody testet lhc@home software client for linux
with openmosix cluster ??
is that possible to do so for improving performance
and number crunching ??

i would like to run an linux openmosixcluster(or any)
with lhc@home client software

regards ... Bratwurst ibraun@netcologne.de

A year ago, I tried it out on Clusterknoppix (openmosix) with a few machines with the Seti client. Basically the computing threads moved from the slow machines to the fast machine, resulting in the fast machine crunching two threads slower than it would crunch a single thread, and the slow machine not doing much.
Openmosix has changed a little since then, so I'd expect similar results.


You'll probably find that it's more efficient to have boinc autodetect your number of CPU's on a per computer basis, and to let it handle hyperthreading/multicore cpu's on a per install basis..

I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.
