The ramblings of g1powermac

The cluster I mentioned from my last post I think will be a reality for me. I just bought a 12 inch by 24 inch 16 gauge steel plate to make a small version of the original cluster. Going to cut that up into 3 8×12 inch plates to mount probably two VIA EPIA Mini-ITX motherboards, two hard drives, two cdroms, one psu, some KVM switch so only one keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and maybe a router for the networking. I’m going to try to make both machines act as one unit, so when I hit the power button, it boots both motherboards. Should be quite interesting when I’m done, and quite effective for developing and testing Clusterix.

Also, I’m now two thirds of the way done with my “Week of Horror.” The CS exam I had today seemed quite simple so I should get a good grade Last exam is on Thursday, but it shouldn’t be too bad.
