Pete,

We used our first PPC cluster to enumerate Prime Alternating Knots
to 18 crossings. 
http://baldric.uwo.ca/article.php3?section=baldric&article=knots

After that, it's been in use, on and off by other students.

Our second cluster, the PA-RISC system, will be used for validating some
quantum gravity research (interesting stuff).

Along with some other pet projects.

We are currently still in the setup phase.

- Putting together root tarball to use as node install
- Get rsh to work

And yes, SSH will work as a direct replacement for RSH in MPICH.

However, I believed that SSH was currently broken on PA-RISC due to OpenSSL.

Haven't tried compiling non-open SSH :)
I think we might give it a shot tonight.


Cheers,
