Hello. This is Project Jamie. ========================================================================== DESCRIPTION This distribution of Linux allows people to quickly convert a heterogeneous collection of machines into a cluster computer. Since this distro is also a Live CD, there is no software to install on the cluster nodes. The latest version is called "Indiana Linux Fest Build" (version 0.8) (since this was the most recent conference where this work was demonstrated.) Note: This distro is preconfigured with SSH keys so that any copy of the distro can immediately reach any other copy of this distro without the need for a password. This is an open security door, which means you should run your cluster behind a firewall. You have been warned. March 29, 2011 =================================== For the rushed: =================================== - sudo apt-get install live-helper qemu cdrecord - make - (Stick a CD into the computer.) - cdrecord -v -eject livecd/binary.iso # Repeat this step multiple times. - Boot each computer in your new cluster using the Project Jamie Live CD. - Run the command "configurejamie master" on the desired master node. Note the IP address. - Run the command "configurejamie worker IP_ADDRESS" on each of the worker nodes. =================================== How to build and execute the project: =================================== Step 0: Preparing to build the project. Required elements for this project: (i.e. Better get these programs before you begin) - Debian Live Magic - cdrecord (For burning the ISO to a CD) - qemu (For running the ISO in a virtual machine.) - An Internet Connection - About 5-30 minutes depending on your Internet connection. To get everything in one step: $ sudo apt-get install live-helper qemu cdrecord Step 1: Build the project. Our build script is a Makefile. To execute it, run this command: $ make Step 2: Burn the iso and boot the Live CD --OR-- Launch the distro as a virtual machine. To burn the ISO: $ cdrecord -v -eject livecd/binary.iso To launch the ISO as a virtual machine: $ sudo sh runNodeInQEMU.sh 46 (Here, the 46 represents the last two digits of the MAC address. Each MAC address must be different.) Step 3: Configure the cluster. For each computer (or virtual machine), pick one to be the master node. Run this command on that machine: $ configurejamie master This should report on the screen the IP address. Write this down. On each of the workers, run this command: $ configurejamie worker IP_ADDRESS_OF_MASTER You now have a cluster computer. =================================== CONTRIBUTORS =================================== James Church (@jcchurch on twitter) John Stitt (@jmstitt on twitter) Alex Conrey (@alexconrey on twitter) ========================================================================== LICENSE # Project Jamie is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # Project Jamie is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
