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/ http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-clustknop.html

Thx for tht.. very useful links.

The cluster consists of approximately nine nodes. Each of these nodes have a Pentium III processor with clock speed of approximately 1250 Mhz. Total memory and swap memory are 1027464 KB and 2048276 KB respectively.

Hi
I am bit confused regarding clusters What is the difference if i using either options below 1)Linux Ha 2)Clusterknoppix 3)Globus grid
