[Beowulf] What is best OS for GRID or clusters?

[Jeremy Baker]

Re: dtrace, used for dynamic tracing of Solaris real time kernel and

systems, I wonder if would one of these systems be a Linux kernel? Dtrace
looks very useful. I'll look for it and will check my local library for the
suggested reading material.
