Gael Duval writes “The goal of the CLIC project is to provide a powerful, simple and easy to install Linux Clustering system by unifying the various stages of installation, interconnect layer set-up and parallel applications deployment.”
The first CLIC version features:
– Rapid deployment
– Auto-configuration
– MPICH, LAM & PVM support
– A large number of mathematical libraries
– Netjuggler (a parallelized virtual reality 3D engine)
CLIC was successfully demonstrated by AMD at the San Francisco LinuxWorld Expo in August 2002, tested on a 20-dual AMD processor cluster and has also been installed on 40-dual AMD processor cluster at the LPM2C physics research center (http://lpm2c.polycnrs-gre.fr/).
