gamehead200 Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Is it possible to connect two computers together to make sort of a "super-computer" or something like that?
speedz Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 You could connect 2 HDs thru raid to double your bandwidthcould run dual-processors on a mb built for itcould also transfer ram from one pc onto anotherbut...I doubt you could connect 2 PCs and make them run as one...
Devil_666 Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Havnt seen anything of the sort, only thing is mother boards with more CPU slots RAM etc
gamehead200 Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 Are you sure? I once saw someone connect two computers with an IDE cable, mobo to mobo....
speedz Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 IDE cable? those are only for drives. I highly doubt it, or else we'd be seeing these "super computers" take no.1 on the futuremark orb.
zivan56 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 You could make a Beowulf cluster, not sure how you would go about doing that though.
zipp51 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Just some info I dug up about Beowulf clusters.If your a Linux administrator you could probably put a supercomputer together using Beowulf.It is interesting that they use Raid mirroring throughout these systems and Intel Xeon and AMD MP processors as well.A raid array on my home computer is as close as I'll get.A HistoryReadHistoryA How To GuideTheGuideRead Ohio Supercomputer CenterOhioSupercomputerCenter
Devil_666 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 those IDE cables will have been used fot networking.
