I don't want to do massive number crunching, just normal software development enviorment. I want a poor mans SMP system.
When I use GNU Make, I can use the "make -j" option and it starts *MANY* sub processes all at once. I want the computer I'm on to automatically send those 'jobs' over to some group of hosts on the network auto-majically, in effect - automatically remote-compile.
Say I have 10 dual pentium machines running linux in a *LOCKED* closet. I want them to appear like one virtual CPU. I don't need shared memory across the network.
I'm willing to run TWO different network cables, CABLE 1 - the normal public fully functional eithernet interface. CABLE 2 a "Server Only" backbone. The idea being, the server cable is "SECURE" there is minimal, if any safty checks and minimal fluff in the protocol used to talk between the servers (ie: this keeps the server-2-server connection *FAST*) The other cable is what the rest of the world sees. Servers could use this for process control and file transfer. (Hell I'd even add a 2nd or 3rd eithernet card just for files)
How do I do this? Bewolf does not seem to be this. I've heard that Sun has this... I'm looking for a linux solution.
