<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to know that in order to achieve 1
GFLOP what would the hardware requirements for a Linux cluster be?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am about to begin on making my first cluster for
research in mainly two fields which are parallel input / output systems and the
further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I stay in Mumbai (INDIA) and am finding it
difficult to get likeminded people to work on these projects. Linux in
general is used by very few people here. The inadequate availability
of service and support professionals and training for Linux probably is the
cause to this. My entire research work is done with the availability of
resources on the Internet and through other people working on such projects. Are
there any other people working on similar projects? Please do write to me
at <A href="mailto:nesol@bol.net.in">nesol@bol.net.in</A> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help / suggestions regarding the above
will be highly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in Advance,</FONT></DIV>
