im interested in hosting my own private apache server . And i read about wamp and xampp as options to quickly setting up and getting started . Does anyone have any good recommendations on what would be good to get started with and provides server tools to work with apache ?

has anyone in here used the tegra application development pack to install the stuff needed for development ? I downloaded the installer thing from invidia but when i get to the part where its suppose to download the needed sdks with the pack it goes part way through then the tool just stops responding . I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so have they found a solution that they could share ?

I wonder if that means that places like onlive uses a dedicated machine for every single game in theyre set up that you connect to once u choose ur game pick out of theyre list . And then uses something like a vnc connect to theyre dedicated system but modified to only allow u access to the game itself instead of the rest of the system stuff .

ahh i see what your saying i think . So the cluster idea would work as for power wise however the program itself is most likely created to run on a single machine so it wouldnt work well over a cluster because it isnt mpi compatible . Because theyre generally made for single systems . So it would have to be modified to run over cluster software . Or each gameing system i want set up would need to be on its own dedicated system .

I mean in theory id think once the cluster is built i should be able to just divide up the resources of all the systems up among the different vms however i want like how you can divide how much memory and processors you want to use per machine on a normal 1 system set up

I mean im talking about a high performance cluster which should pull all the hardware resources together to act as one . And not a high availability cluster here where it would just act as normal machines and do load balancing and machine swaps if 1 dies.

im not sure how all this works so im not sure if the idea would even work or not. But i was thinking something along the line of setting up multiple machines up in a cluster and for example if i need a high capacity file system for lets say vms i could add several hds to a few of the workstations . And if I need fast processing power i could add several powerful processors and graphics cards to others . And have them all tied together over a high performance cluster network . Wouldnt that be pretty much the same thing as the server setups you would buy . I mean ive seen stuff for file servers with tons of hd and others with tons of processing power and others with networking and so forth . So wouldnt that be pretty much the same thing ?

You keep talking about using rack systems and stuff like that but honestly whats the major difference in using systems built that way and using several workstations combined in a cluster ? I mean i know they have more slots for stuff like network ports and stuff like that but other then that whats the real difference that allows them to perform better then normal systems tied together in a cluster can ?

So i guess a gaming server would have to run on bare metal if they cant be run through virtual machines like that .

its all still kinda confusing I dont see how adding more processing power wouldnt speed them up . Honestly the main reason i wanted to do this project was so i can have more virtual machines to play with at once . And also to try and be able to use a virtual machine that can actually play a high end game . Because my normal machine bogs down bad if i try and play any kind of high end game from within a virtual machine . I have been using virtual box as my tool for virtual machines if that makes any difference . Thanks for all your help tho . I get what your saying tho about the hds and stuff tho . Id just like to be able to have several vms and use them just as well as machines thats straight on the hardware itself . Without the slow down .

Ok now i am confused 1 if you is saying it wouldnt do any better then a single machine could do running virtual machines and the other sounds like it can be done . If it can be done do you have any good software packages and documentation on the subject I can look at .

If thats true then theres no way to by pass the limit on the amount of virtual machines that can be ran at the same time . According to what your saying .

Im completely new to the subject and would like some help . I would like to create a high performance cluster running several virtual machines over with a low lvl hypervisor . But I dont know where to start so can someone please give me some information on some good software and tools preferably open source . Ive seen articles on other types of clustering but not anything to do with high performance clusters used with virtual machines . So please any information or tools would be helpful . Thanks for any assistance

ok I think this new rubber ducky is bricked or something . I just got it up and running and tried out the lock your computer payload . And instead of opening up a txt file and typing what it was suppose to . The thing tried to open up like 600 copies of my net gear program and nearly everything else on the desktop . And each time i put it back in it tries to do something else .
