ParallelKnoppix - Rapid Creation of a Linux Cluster for MPI Parallel Processing Using Non-Dedicated Computers
نویسنده
چکیده
This note describes ParallelKnoppix, a bootable CD that allows creation of a Linux cluster in very little time. An experienced user can create a cluster ready to execute MPI programs in less than 10 minutes. The computers used may be heterogeneous machines, of the IA-32 architecture. When the cluster is shut down, all machines except one are in their original state, and the last can be returned to its original state by deleting a directory. The system thus provides a means of using non-dedicated computers to create a cluster. An example of maximum likelihood estimation done in parallel is provided.

متن کاملMOLA: a bootable, self-configuring system for virtual screening using AutoDock4/Vina on computer clusters
BACKGROUND Virtual screening of small molecules using molecular docking has become an important tool in drug discovery. However, large scale virtual screening is time demanding and usually requires dedicated computer clusters. There are a number of software tools that perform virtual screening using AutoDock4 but they require access to dedicated Linux computer clusters. Also no software is avai...
متن کاملMPIPOV: A Parallel Implementation of POV-Ray Based on MPI
The work presents an MPI parallel implementation of Pov-Ray, a powerful public domain ray tracing engine. The major problem in ray tracing is the large amount of CPU time needed for the elaboration of the image. With this parallel version it is possible to reduce the computation time or to render, with the same elaboration time, more complex or detailed images. The program was tested successful...
