Cluster Configuration

The Beowulf Cluster Lab in MEC305 has one master node, named node00, and 62 compute nodes, named node01, $\ldots$, node62, which are connected with a private Gigabit Ethernet switch.

The machine beowulf.boisestate.edu is the master node and the only one that is on the public Internet. The master node beowulf.boisestate.edu is connected to the private switch with the name node00. The figure below shows the layout of the Beowulf Cluster Lab.

To use the cluster you must login to beowulf.boisestate.edu. Your home directory resides on the master node, which is the file server for the cluster. Thus you have the same home directory on all machines in the cluster.
