Processor

  • x86 (ia32, AMD Athlon, etc.)
  • x86_64 (AMD Opteron and EM64T)

Network

  • Ethernet

Kebutuhkan Hardware Minimal

Frontend Node

  • Disk Capacity: 30 GB
  • Memory Capacity: 1 GB
  • Ethernet: 2 physical ports (e.g., "eth0" and "eth1")
  • BIOS Boot Order: CD, Hard Disk

Compute Node

  • Disk Capacity: 30 GB
  • Memory Capacity: 1 GB
  • Ethernet: 1 physical port (e.g., "eth0")
  • BIOS Boot Order: CD, PXE (Network Boot), Hard Disk

Instalasi Fisik

Banyak buku yang membahas tentang bentuk fisik cluster. Kebanyakan buku dari O'Reilly tentang "Building Linux Clusters" membahas setup fisik cluster, cara memilih motherboard dll. Buku "How to Build a Beowulf" memuat tip yang baik tentang konstruksi fisik cluster.

Akan lebih baik menggunakan peralatan rack-mount karena lebih reliable dan lebih padat.Akan tetapi ada juga Rocks Cluster yang dibangun menggunakan mini tower. Pada akhirnya silahkan kita pilih mana yang lebih baik buat kita.

Diagram berikut memperlihatkan bagaimana frontend dan compute node harus tersambung:

On the compute nodes, the Ethernet interface that Linux maps to eth0 should be connected to the cluster's Ethernet switch. This network is considered private, that is, all traffic on this network is physically separated from the external public network (e.g., the internet).

On the frontend, at least two ethernet interfaces are required. The interface that Linux maps to eth0 should be connected to the same ethernet network as the compute nodes. The interface that Linux maps to eth1 should be connected to the external network (e.g., the internet or your organization's intranet).
