i am doin a project on linux clusters at TIFR. the
project requires us to
simulate 8 nodes on a single node and do this for
9 different nodes and thus
having a cluster of 72 nodes. these simulated
nodes should behave as if they
are connected via network(ie-having ip address and
all). our guide told us
something about either using user mode linux or
use kernel threads.. tried
googling it but failed to find anything useful
enough... can anyone explain
user mode linux and how it can be used for the
above mentioned purpose? also
any sources for reading abt it are most
welcome..thx
First up. Search google/yahoo/askjeeves for user mode linux. http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ http://www.usermodelinux.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue90/weber.html
In addition you can also use bochs (google it !) or Xen (google this too).
Also you might need a high end machine to simulate these many nodes. If you have multiple machine connected on a network, you can try using Clusterknoppix. http://bofh.be/clusterknoppix/
