[Beowulf] Cluster Networking

[Dmitry Zaletnev]

Hi, I have two questions:

1. Is there any influence on performance of a NFS-server from the usage of x32 CPU and OS instead of x64, if all other characteristics of the system, i.e. amount of RAM, soft-SATA-II RAID 0, Realtek GLAN NIC are the same?

2. Is the Etherchannel technology (channel bonding) useful for CFD-application running on a cluster of two Dual-Xeon servers?

Sincerely,
Dmitry Zaletnev
