Is there a way to unite all of the various graphics cards in the nodes of a
cluster into a single X windows system? I am aware that it is possible to assemble a group of discarded PCs into a Linux cluster, with each node having its own image of the operating system. I am also aware that it is possible to configure a cluster of multiple machines to have a single system image (SSI) - making the cluster appear as if it were a single multiprocessor system. has there ever been any attempt on an SSI system to unite all of the graphics cards in the nodes into a single integrated X windows system, wherein each node/card combination can act as an X server? Users could then plug monitors and keyboards directly into the nodes and have active X servers. Knowledge of any software or project that has attempted this would be appreciated. If there is some fatal flaw in this concept, please le me know of that instead! Much thanks in advance! |
