Book review: The Linux Enterprise Cluster
|
Wednesday August 31 2005 @ 02:16PM EDT views: 83
Linux.com: Even if your business is not an "enterprise," The Linux Enterprise Cluster is an excellent resource for building a low-cost computing platform for a variety of services and purposes. Maybe you need a lot of computing power for complex calculations or for video rendering. Maybe you need a highly available server for a variety of Internet- or intranet-related services. No matter what your needs are, The Linux Enterprise Cluster can help any Unix, BSD, or GNU/Linux sysadmin create a single, unified computing platform out of a pile of commodity computer hardware.

Wednesday August 31 2005 @ 12:24PM EDT views: 130
ClusterMonkey.net: Storage has become a very important part of clusters. Initially people used use NFS to distributed data to all of the nodes of the cluster. However, as clusters grew to hundreds and thousands of nodes, and the demand for increased data I/O rates grew, people realized that NFS was not going to cut it.

New software for experiment management and analysis available
|
Wednesday August 31 2005 @ 10:50AM EDT views: 57
From: Beowulf mailing list
We (NEC C&C Research Labs) have released 'perfbase' under GPL. 'perfbase' is a
set of Python scripts (currently about 12.500 lines) which, together with a
PostgreSQL database server, support the management and analysis of experimental
data. In principle, it is a generic tool set, but we designed it and use it to
track experiments from computational science and R&D, like the performance of
MPI libraries and HPC platforms assessed by benchmarks or applications.

Probing Gigabit Ethernet
|
Friday August 26 2005 @ 11:30AM EDT views: 97
ClusterMonkey.net: There are two ways to look at designing HPC clusters. On the positive side, there is a plethora of hardware and software options. On the negative side, there is a plethora of hardware and software options! The cluster designer has a special burden because unlike putting together one or two servers for the office, a cluster multiplies your decisions by N, where N is the number of nodes. A wrong decision can have two negative consequences. First, a fix for the problem will probably require more money and time. And, second, before the problem is fixed you may only be getting a fraction of the performance possible from your cluster. Clusters have a way of amplifying bad decisions.
