- High Performance Grid and Cluster Computing Industry Trends
- As computing power requirements and the amount of data increase, organizations continue to be faced with the challenge of satisfying business needs on the data within business usable timeframes. In the past, there was only one choice, process on a server. If more processing was needed, it was time to...

- Deploying 10GigE Network for High Performance Clusters
- Cluster computing has become one of the most popular platforms for high-performance computing today. Like traditional parallel computing systems, the I/O subsystems of clusters may form a bottleneck that affects overall system performance. An efficient way to alleviate the I/O bottleneck is to deploy a high performance file system that...

- Trace-Driven Analysis of an Internet-Scale Cloud Computing Platform
- In recent years, cloud computing have become a popular computing paradigm, where computation is moved away from personal computers or an individual application server to a "Cloud" of computers in the network. Users of the cloud only need to be concerned with the computing service being asked for, as the...

- SLA-Based Resource Allocation in Cluster Computing Systems
- Resource allocation is a fundamental but challenging problem due to the complexity of cluster computing systems. In enterprise service computing, resource allocation is often associated with a Service Level Agreement SLA which is a set of quality of services and a price agreed between a customer and a service provider....

- Network Performance Model for TCP/IP Based Cluster Computing
- A new communication model, called the PlogPT model, is proposed to predict communication performance in a commodity cluster where computing nodes communicate using TCP/IP. This model extends the PlogP model in order to consider the variation of bandwidth brought about by bottleneck links in network switches and the delay of...

- Cluster Computing: High-Performance, High-Availability, and High-Throughput Processing on a Network of Computers
- This paper discusses the motivation for cluster computing as well as the technologies available for building cluster systems. The emphasis placed for using commodity-based hardware and software components to achieve high performance, availability, and scalability means that cluster computing is a more cost-effective platform compared to traditional high performance platforms....

- Component-Based Digital Library Scalability Using Cluster Computing
- Most institutions make use of Digital Library systems DL to deal with the information they use. DL systems allow them to provide information management services, including the ability to search through and browse the information they have made available. The current architecture of the systems however, does not scale well...

- Beyond Swarm Intelligence: The UltraSwarm
- This paper explores the idea that it may be possible to combine two ideas - UAV flocking, and wireless cluster computing - in a single system, the UltraSwarm. The possible advantages of such a system are considered, and solutions to some of the technical problems are identified. Initial work on...

- Streamlining Beowulf Cluster Deployment With NPACI Rocks
- For high-performance parallel-processing applications, Beowulf clusters that comprise industry-standard, two-processor and four processor servers can be a cost-effective alternative to symmetric multiprocessing computer systems and supercomputers. This paper discusses NPACI Rocks, an open source cluster computing software stack that can be used to improve the deployment, management, and maintenance of...

- The Future of Cluster Computing
- Without a sustainable computing strategy, can today's commodity High-Performance Computing ("HPC") clusters take advantage of future hardware developments? How are technical markets driving high-end innovation? What are the keys to a sustainable design strategy? These are just a few of the important questions addressed in the white paper, "The...

- Scalable Cluster Computing With MOSIX for LINUX
- Mosix is a software tool for supporting cluster computing. It consists of kernel-level, adaptive resource sharing algorithms that are geared for high performance, overhead-free scalability and ease-of-use of a scalable computing cluster. The core of the Mosix technology is the capability of multiple workstations and servers nodes to work cooperatively...
