Building Your Own Super Computer

Building Your Own Super - Building a Linux Cluster ( 4 ) Linux clusters are generally more common, robust, efficient and cost effective than Windows clusters. We will now look at the steps involved in building up a Linux cluster. For more information go here . Step 1 Install a Linux distribution (I am using Red Hat 7.1 and working with two Linux boxes) on each computer in your cluster. Usually, one node is designated as the master node (where you'll control the cluster, write and run programs, etc.) with all the other nodes used as computational slaves. Our cluster is private, so theoretically we could assign any valid IP address to our nodes as long as each has a unique value. If you already have Linux installed on each node in your cluster, then you don't have to make changes to your IP addresses or hostnames unless you want to. Finally, create identical user on each node. Step 2 We now need to configure rsh on each node in our cluster. Master DevArticle Slave DevArticle

I have a question:
In a datacenter for a big website company like Google, do they depend completely on clustering to build their computer infrastructure. Also anybody has any idea about their clustering software that they use. I know they use Hadoop, but they run than on top of already clustered machines running lunix. Hadoop works on clustered machines, but doesn't perform clustering. Any thoughts about that? by khalaf Feb 4
