Cluster Experiment

I have over 30 workstations available for use at my schools tech lab. These are experimental machines so no question that I can use them, we've done about everything to them.

I just want to throw a cluster together and see what I can do with them. The only problem I have is finding the software to make them unite their resources as one. Does anyone know of software for cluster computing?

Thanks
 
search out the beowulf clustering project. Open source and tons of resources, and examples. I think it is used at MIT or something like that.

It's linux based of course.

I just now noticed your reply. :P

I looked into Beowulf but I got confused as to what actual software to use.

I do have it running under a different software though, I have 20 machines running clusterKnoppix and it is working as far as connecting goes. I am going to test it tomorrow to make sure it's balancing properly. I built a C++ app that declares several large arrays to test RAM consumption, it will fill those arrays with random numbers, and then it will sort them using a selection sort. I think that will be a pretty good resource test. If not then I will just throw together an app full of counters.
