It’s Magic: SourceMage GNU/Linux as HPC Cluster OS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of the presentation is to give an overview about how to build a commodity PC based GNU/Linux cluster for High Performance Computing (HPC) in a research environment. Due to the extreme flexibility of the GNU/Linux operating system and the large variety of hardware components, building a cluster for High Performance Computing (HPC) is still a challenge in many cases. At the Division of Intelligent Systems at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), we have build a 40 node HPC cluster for research purposes using the source-based GNU/Linux distribution Source Mage. We describe a methodology for designing and installing a highly customized

Towards a Lightweight RDMA Para-Virtualization for HPC
Virtualization has gained increasing attention in the recent High Performance Computing (HPC) development. While HPC provides scalability and computing performance, HPC in the cloud benefits in addition from the agility and flexibility that virtualization brings. One of the major challenges of HPC in virtualized environments is RDMA virtualization. Existing implementations of RDMA virtualizatio...
متن کاملTkDND: a cross-platform drag’n’drop package
This paper is about TkDND, a Tcl/Tk extension that aims to add cross-application drag and drop support to Tk, for popular operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and GNU/Linux. Being in its second rewrite, TkDND 2.x has a stable implementation for Windows and OS X, while support for Linux and the XDND protocol is still under development.
متن کاملImplementing a GDB Stub in Lightweight Kitten OS
Because of the increasing complexity of the applications running in Kitten, a lightweight HPC OS targeted for compute nodes of massively-parallel, distributed-memory supercomputers, and the complex hardware that Kitten is running on, bugs are becoming more difficult to find. As a result, the need for Kitten to support user-level application debugging becomes more critical. Unfortunately, Kitten...
متن کاملImproving Networking Performance of a Linux Cluster
Networking is known to be a "bottleneck" in scientific computations on HPC clusters. It could become a problem that limits the scalability of systems with a cluster architecture. And that problem is a worldwide one since clusters are used almost everywhere. Expensive clusters usually have some custom networks. Such systems imply expensive and powerful hardware, custom protocols, proprietary ope...
متن کاملModernising the Esrf Control System with Gnu/linux
The ESRF control system is in the process of being modernised. The present control system is based on VME, 10 MHz Ethernet, OS9, Solaris, HP-UX, NFS/RPC, Motif and C. The new control system will be based on compact PCI, 100 MHz Ethernet, Linux, Windows, Solaris, CORBA/IIOP, C++, Java and Python. The main frontend operating system will be GNU/Linux running on Intel/x86 and Motorola/68k. Linux wi...
