teh_coder Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 My school has a cluster that I have been given access to and I would like to know if you all have any good ideas to what I could do on it while I finish my code of my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Folding@Home perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Not abuse resources. If you school has a cluster then its likely to be in use alot of the time on more important things. Plus the disadvantage of playing around with things is that you may find next time when you need something like this, they may not allow it because you mucked about last time. If you really must, then any distributed computing programs will run nicely depending on how the cluster is controlled, such as folding@home. Another idea would be to contribute to some rainbow table projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_coder Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Theres no use of it at this time, me and the system admin are the only ones that are even logging into it at the moment. can folding@home use mpi or lam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm pretty sure that F@H simply needs you to start as many instances of the program as there are CPUs within the cluster. The cluster itself will deal with distributing this load. If you asked (and in fact received) access to this cluster, surely you have some idea of what you want to do with it?

teh_coder Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have an idea and I working on the software for it, but until I have the program done I'm just having fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
