# Beowulf cluster example
## Requirements:
- VirtualBox
- A host-only virtual network (`VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter`, address space `192.168.56.0/24`)
- An SSH key pair (files `id_ed25519` and `id_ed25519.pub`, create it with the command below)
```sh
ssh-keygen -f 'id_ed25519' -N '' -C 'controller'
```
- An SSH config file ([`ssh_config.txt`][ssh_config.txt])
- A list of hosts for MPICH ([`mpi_hosts.txt`][mpi_hosts.txt]) containing the IP addresses of the workers
When up, execute the command below and enjoy:
```sh
vagrant ssh -c 'mpiexec -f mpi_hosts -n 3 hostname'
```
