From help-request at octave dot org Mon Nov 29 12:13:27 2004 Subject: parallelknoppix with MPITB for Octave From: Michael Creel To: info at octave dot org Cc: Javier Fernandez Baldomero Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 06:06:21 -0600 Hello, I have made a version of parallelknoppix that includes MPITB for octave, with a working example of code to do a Monte Carlo study in parallel. MPITB (http://atc.ugr.es/javier-bin/mpitb)is a toolbox for Octave that allows code to be executed in parallel. Parallelknoppix (http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/) is a bootable CD that lets you create a temporary cluster for MPI parallel computing, without installing any OS or software on any of the computers involved. I have used this in a university computer room with Windows machines for students' daily work to create temporary Linux clusters of up to 25 nodes. It works very well in my experience. It's an easy way to get started with clusters, and with MPITB for Octave in particular. On the web page there are download links and links to documentation. The CD contains the latest version of MPITB, Octave 2.1.60, and octave-forge CVS from a couple of weeks ago. Any comments, suggestions or contributions are welcome.
