Hi Abu Attar Musharih,
First of all, I don't think that a grid is the right instrument for running processes using a MPI model (this is more thread based, or, if using a cluster, based on a RPC model for example). Or look at *www.mosix.org*. For cluster software, you could use Scientific linux or Rocks Clusters Linux. I made good experience in managing a cluster with Rocks Clusters Linux, based on CentOS (www.rocksclusters.org).
Thanks for the response. You are completely right, but for my main objective which is more on a proof-of-concept and learning the grid technology, perhaps this is the way to go.
Additionally, in my opinion, the Fedora user list is not really a good contact for your grid question. I'm sure there is a appropriate Q&A page at globus.org (the messages listed below are not system specific enough)
- it seems to be a middleware problem.
Seing that the globus toolkit is available from the fedora repo, I assume that there must be some members who can provide some explanation.
Best regards, Abu Attar
