• Beowulf HOWTO - Step-by-step instructions on building a Beowulf cluster. Note: this is a Red Hat and LAM-specific version. (2005)
• Beowulf Tutorial: Building a Beowulf System - This guide provides good information on building a Beowulf cluster; includes links for obtaining further info. (2005)
• Beowulf.org: The Beowulf Cluster Site - The premier site for Linux cluster information. This site contains a collection of resources for the expanding universe of users and designers of Beowulf class cluster computers.
• Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD) - A bootable CD image that boots up into a pre-configured distributed computing environment.
• C3 (Cluster Command and Control) Homepage - Tool suite for administering large Linux clusters.
• ClusterIt - A collection of clustering tools to allow simple administration of groups of *NIX/BSD machines; also can be used to facilitate parallel shell scripting, and compiling.
• Condor Project Homepage - A specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs.
• Folding@home: Distributed Computing - The goal of this project to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases. Multilingual site.
• Ganglia Monitoring System - A scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and grids; supports clusters up to 2000 nodes.
• Gluster - A platform for developing clustering applications such as HPC (High-Performance Clustering), storage, and database clustering.
• High-Availability Linux Project - A high-availability (clustering) solution for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. The project's main software product is Heartbeat, a GPL-licensed portable cluster management program for high-availability clustering.
• Hoard - Fast, Scalable and Memory-Efficient Allocator for SMPs - A fast, scalable and memory-efficient allocator for multiprocessors.
• IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) - A scalable, high-performance parallel file system for AIX 5L and Linux clusters.
• Keepalived for Linux - Linux High Availability - Health checking for LVS (Linux Virtual Server) and High-Availability.
• Linux Parallel Processing HOWTO - This document discusses the four basic approaches to parallel processing that are available to Linux users: SMP Linux systems, clusters of networked Linux systems, parallel execution using multimedia instructions (i.e., MMX), and attached (parallel) processors hosted by a Linux system. (2004) N.B.: The author has been contacted (2007), and he will be updating this document when time allows. It is still a useful document as is.
• LinuxHPC.org - Linux High Performance Computing - Linux clusters and high performance computing news, documentation, hardware, software, mailing list, Linux job opportunities, training.
• MOSIX - Scalable Cluster Computing for Linux - A management system of computational resources in a cluster or a grid of x86 based Linux computers (nodes) with the aim of making all the nodes perform like a single computer with multiple processors (almost like an SMP).
• Momoko - Modular, Extensible, Multi-User Environment - A framework for developing distributed, multi-user, network-aware applications. Latest stable release is 4.1, 2002-10-10.
• OSCAR - Open Source Cluster Application Resources - A snapshot of the best known methods for building, programming, and using HPC (high performance computing) clusters.
• OpenMosix, an Open Source Linux Cluster Project - A Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering which turns a network of ordinary computers into a supercomputer for Linux applications.
• PVM: Parallel Virtual Machine - A software package that permits a heterogeneous collection of Unix and/or Windows computers hooked together by a network to be used as a single large parallel computer.
• Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS), Version 2 - A high-performance and scalable parallel file system for PC clusters; continues the PVFS1 project (currently being maintained and improved), see http://www.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs/.
• Penguin Computing - Linux Servers and Clusters - A Linux company specializing in cluster software, servers, workstations, and peripherals.
• PlanetLab - A collection of Internet-connected computers distributed around the globe (in 2007 there are 808 nodes, hosted by 401 sites, spanning 25+ countries). All PlanetLab machines run a common software package that includes a Linux-based operating system.
• The Aggregate - Meta site for parallel computing research.
• The Globus Project - Software infrastructure for distributed computing on a world-wide scale.
• The Linux Virtual Server Project (LVS) - Linux Server Cluster - Linux server cluster for load balancing.
• The Parallel Virtual File System Project (PVFS), Version 1 - A high-performance and scalable parallel file system for PC clusters. For PVFS2 (the next generation parallel file system), seehttp://www.pvfs.org/.
• The openMosix HOWTO - Provides in-depth information on installation, administering, common problems, and running applications on openMosix. (2005)
