With the speed and bandwidth offered by the next generation Internet technology, there is a need for large and scalable Internet server that can provides an adequate computing power and storage for the new generation Internet applications. This requires a huge investment in a very large and expensive commercial server system. Recently, the emergence of Linux PC clustering or so-called Beowulf C...

This paper gives a performance analysis of the AllGather, All-Reduce and Reduce-Scatter collective communication operations on a Beowulf cluster. This cluster has a contention-free switch-based network with multiple network interface cards per node, permitting overlapping of message transmission under certain circumstances. As well as considering traditional algorithms developed previously for ...

The Monte Carlo (MC) method for high-energy photon and charged particle transport is the most accurate for dose calculations in radiotherapy. However, the large amount of computing time required by general purpose MC codes has prevented their use for routine dose distribution calculations for customized radiation treatment planning. One of the best ways to provide an accurate dose distribution ...

The Beowulf parallel workstation combines 16 PC-compatible processing subsystems and disk drives using dual Ethernet networks to provide a single-user environment with 1 Gops peak performance, half a Gbyte of disk storage, and up to 8 times the disk I/O bandwidth of conventional workstations. The Be-owulf architecture establishes a new operating point in price-performance for single-user enviro...

Bu makale, Orta Çağ’dan günümüze ulaşan iki önemli ulusal destan olan Dede Korkut Hikâyeleri ve Beowulf’ta bulunan kadın tiplerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Her eserde de oğullarının kahramanlıklarından dolayı övülen annelere, bir kayba ağıt yakan veyahut yas tutan kadınlara rastlamak mümkündür. tip kadınlar genelde pasif resmedilmiştir hatta bazı durumlarda bu kadınları...

When confronted with cluttered natural environments, animals still perform orders of magnitude better than artificial vision systems in tasks such as orienting, target detection, navigation and scene understanding. The recent widespread availability of significant computational resources, however, in particular through the deployment of so-called "Beowulf" clusters of low-cost personal computer...

In the past 12-months we have seen numerous Beowulf cluster-building software packages emerge from academia, industry, and national laboratories. Each of these efforts has essentially the same basic goal “to simplify the life of cluster builders and users while unleashing the inexpensive power of cluster computing.” However, the path taken by each of the groups to achieve this goal has varied g...
