I was thinking over the weekend that we could expand our cluster to
possibly include workstations that don't get used very much with
programs that don't have a lot of network traffic. Lam seems a good
choice because of the ease to parallelize programs. The questions that
came up are these: Is LAM fault tolerant that if a node becomes
unavailable then it moves the work unit to another node? Is there a
server daemon that monitors all the nodes in the list to see when nodes
do become available? It seems like this would be possible especially if
ssh is setup correctly, it could be used to reduce load on the cluster
in real time. Any comments or suggestions?
