Sure, you can cluster SUN systems as easily as IA32 based systems. However because of the cost of SPARC based systems I don't think they qualify as "commodity" based systems so it may not be fair to call it Beowulf clustering. Additionally, with SUN systems anyway, I use Myrinet high speed low latency components. The cost of these devices are not exactly commodity either. As for the performance, I swear I'm going to get a T-shirt that says "It depends on the application". Compilers, 64bit vs 32bit, cache, etc. marc -----Original Message----- From: clpoh [mailto:clpoh at pl.jaring.my] Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2001 3:35 AM To: beowulf at beowulf.org Subject: Sun Sparc performance Has anybody tried Beouwlf clustering on Sun Ultra SPARC machines ? I did a benchmark on 3 sets of Sun Ultra SPARC machines using POVRAY but the result I got is even slower than my other cluster with AMD K6-2. iS THIS OK ?
