Hi there!

There is an effort on the way to build up a cluster of 512 nodes (all PCs
running Linux and connected via switched fast ethernet).

Does anyone have experience using MPI and PVM on this large sized
clusters? We heard about problems with sizes above approx. 40 nodes when
starting jobs.

More information on the project on http://www.linux-magazin.de/cluster/
(sorry, only german language yet).

Any help appreciated!

Regards,
Daniel
