I have a few Linux machines laying around and I wanted to make a cluster computer network. There will be 1 monitor that would be for the controller. The controller would execute a script that would perform a task and split the load onto the computers.
Lets say I have 4 computers that are all connected to the controller. I wanted to compile a program using GCC but I wanted to split the work 3 ways. How would I do that?
Any help would be appreciated.
You could try making a Beowulf Cluster. You set up one host as a master and the rest as nodes. It's been done in the past by others, including NASA as the wikipedia entry on Beowulf Cluster says.
Building your own cluster computer farm might cost more in power than you'd gain in compute resources.
I have not tried this myself, but I've always wanted to give it a shot.
