Nowadays, NVIDIA's CUDA is a general purpose scalable parallel programming model for writing highly parallel applications. It provides several key abstractions - a hierarchy of thread blocks, shared memory, and barrier synchronization. This model has proven quite successful at programming multithreaded many core GPUs and scales transparently to hundreds of cores: scientists throughout industry and...
The objective of this paper is to implement and evaluate a cluster computing environment by clustering idle PCs (personal computer) with Diskless slave nodes on campuses in order to obtain the effectiveness of the largest computer potency. Two sets of cluster platforms BCCD and DRBL are used to compare parallel computing performance. The objective is to prove that DRBL has better performance than...
Managing and monitoring a cluster is both a tedious and challenging task, since each computing node is designed as a stand-alone system rather than a part of a parallel architecture. In this paper, a software system that allows the centralized administration of a generic Beowulf cluster is proposed. This system also provides Web services and applications to monitor multiple PC clusters with job submission...
In this paper, we construct four DRBL-based diskless Linux PC clusters and install Globus Toolkit and Condor scheduler on the master node of each cluster. All diskless clusters can be merged into a powerful computing environment. To utilize the computing power, we propose a jobs allocation strategy for application execution. We use HPL to conduct some performance evaluations and analyze those data...
Multi-cluster with NAT (network address translation) is a kind of building cluster of clusters (CoCs) in parallel processing, we can easily combine two or more PC clusters which had setting on difference place to form a big one parallel system to reach the acceptable performance and resolving the issue of insufficient public IP address. In this paper, it includes three parts: First we construct a...
We integrate the technologies of high availability and load balancing clusters that combine features of both of these cluster types, increasing both the availability and scalability of services and resources. This type of cluster setup is commonly used for Web-based VOD servers.
A cluster is a collection of independent and cheap machines, used together as a supercomputer to provide a solution. In this paper, a PC cluster consisting of one master node and nine disk-less slave nodes (10 processors), is proposed and built for parallel rendering purposes. The system architecture and benchmark performances of this cluster are also presented. Internet computing and grid technologies...
