I have been playing around some and found chaos works on older pc. my new gemstone doesn’t work and my atom. my older amd 3500+ works and my old desktop @2.53 ghz works.

cluster knoptix I will be playing around with but can’t seem to get it to work.once I get it to work I will begin seeing if aircrack will work.

MPI _is_ a standard, there is a standards body, there are versions I and II. Implementations may deviate from the standard… but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a standard.

Nearly all Linux clusters are _not_ SSI and have no process migration, they are distributed (and don’t try to hide it under a .5-assed attempt to look SSI). Until interconnects transfer memory at <500ns latency app-to-app, SSI is just an academic pipe-dream (we’re currently at 1.5usecs latency w/ IB). Given Don Becker coined “Beowulf”, and has pushed his SSI (see scyld.com), then “Beowulf” can be constrained to meaning SSI-only clusters… but there are very few of those.

MPI doesn’t need SSI, and works better on distributed clusters w/o it. This excludes true SSI systems, like SGI’s Altix (where MPI works as well).

Chaos is a distro from http://www.llnl.gov/linux (not from a university)… see their “Projects” page.
