"The Deathrow Cluster" is a couple of computers acting as one large computer.
The cluster currently consists of DEC Alphas (64 bit), and VAXen (32 bit -
Some uVAX hardware, some emulated)
running the OpenVMS operating system. The idea of the cluster is to
promote the OpenVMS operating system and give people a chance to play
with it. People are welcome to test the security features of the
cluster, port non-commerical code and learn the basic in-and-outs of
the OpenVMS operating system. The cluster supports many programming
languages, including: BASIC, C/C++, Fortran, Cobol, ADA, Bliss, Macro32/64,
DCL scripting, PL/I, Java, and Pascal.
The cluster is available for general public use, as long it's not for
commercial purposes. The cluster uses the
OpenVMS Hobbyist licensing,
hence the reason we cannot allow commerical usage of the cluster. Commercial
usage would be violate our license agreement as OpenVMS hobbyist, and we
cannot let that happen.
There is no charge for an account on the cluster. This cluster is, and
always will be 100% free of charge. If you're not sure you need or
want an account, please play with our DEMO account first!
The DEMO account give you near full access to the system
(some network objects are restricted). To use the DEMO account,
telnet or SSH to a cluster member and login with the username
DEMO, password USER. To find out information on a
node to connected to, look on the left side of this page under "Nodes Online:".
These are the nodes currently online with there information.
If you do find the cluster useful,
consider donating!
