Teaching High-Performance Computing on a High-Performance Cluster

High-Performance Computing on a Honeycomb Architecture

We explore time and space optimization problems involved in the mapping of parallel algorithms onto a honeycomb architecture. When a well-known mapping is used, mapped algorithms generally exhibit execution slowdown and require too large area. We design several optimization techniques and enhance the mapping process. Experimental results show more than 50 % saving in processor resources and 30 ...

Availability Modeling and Evaluation on High Performance Cluster Computing Systems

Cluster computing has been attracting more and more attention from both the industrial and the academic world for its enormous computing power and scalability. Beowulf type cluster, for example, is a typical High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster system. Availability, as a key attribute of the system, needs to be considered at the system design stage and monitored at mission time. Moreover, s...

Cluster Approach to High Performance Computing

The High Performance Computing (HPC) allows scientists and engineers to deal with very complex problems using fast computer hardware and specialized software. Since often these problems require hundreds or even thousands of processor hours to complete, an approach, based on the use of supercomputers, has been traditionally adopted. Recent tremendous increase in a speed of PC-type computers open...

Cluster Computing: A High-Performance Contender

W hen you first heard people speak of Piles of PCs, the first thing that came to mind may have been a cluttered computer room with processors, monitors, and snarls of cables all around. Collections of computers have undoubtedly become more sophisticated than in the early days of shared drives and modem connections. No matter what you call them—Clusters of Workstations (COW), Networks of Worksta...
