Best Linux Distro for HPC cluster

Asked By heather young 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/04/2011

I am trying to execute High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster on 5 PCs but I am running out of conclusion. I heard about Clustered High Availability Operating System (CHAOS), Red Hat, Slackwave and CentOS. What I want to know is what is the best Linux distribution that can run with my HPC cluster? Where can I find some articles or information that can compare Linux distributions?

Best Linux Distro for HPC cluster

 

Hi you are asking on what was the best Linux distribution that can run with your HPC cluster.

I think one can do everything with every distribution. Most people will take the distribution which they are most familiar with. all I can advise  is to use or to choose any of the driver of software you’ve mention before. Because in my research all of them are quite the same, and as long fast and reliable networking is concern and other important services each of them could deliver it way better. And remember those driver of software was created in almost the same purposes; I think each of them will work absolutely better.

Hope this will help you. Matt Tiger.
