<div>I would say at a minimum, you need a dedicated gigabit Ethernet between the two machines, and an operating system that can support MPICH and Gromacs. Also you will need a compiler to build all the software as well. Lastly, your cluster will need to support
SSH or some way to launch all the MPI daemons on both systems. </div>
<div><br>
I would start by learning how to use MPI Software to run on one node and then work on expanding to a multinode setup. Also, you might be better served by starting out with one of the many MPI Hello World implementations and starting there as a learning platform
and working your way up to more complex programs like Gromacs. Once you have a fundamental understanding of all the working pieces, you will have a much better user experience. </div>

<div>Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have two servers - one is HP Proliant DL580G5 with 32 cores and other is Hp server with 24 cores. I want to cluster these two with 32 nodes one as the master. Finally I need to use the computational powers of both in gromacs (MD simulation software)
using mpi. So, what I want to know is how can I cluster them. If any could be help me out in this, it will be of great help...</div>
