Evaluation of cluster computing tools And developing a novel distribution tool For an effective computational cluster

Abstract

newlineIncreasing computational capabilities is essential for continued newlineprogress of modern science and technology in all fields Parallel processing newlinehas been recognized as one of the fundamental approaches to achieving newlinehigh performance computing newlineIn the past only a limited number of government laboratories and newlinelarge businesses had access to high performance parallel systems primarily newlinebecause of the tremendous cost of these systems both to purchase and to newlineoperate Nowadays with the rapid growth of microprocessor power reduction newlineof memory prices emergence of high speed networks and availability of newlineparallel system and application software building and maintaining parallel newlinesystems have become cost effective and thus attracted and accessible to a newlineconsiderably wider range of users newlineThe introduction of distributed parallel systems based on groups of newlinenetworked workstations and personal computers commonly called clusters of newlineworkstations has amplified this recent trend This study focuses on defining newlinedeveloping and demonstrating software mechanisms for achieving highperformance newlinescalable parallel computing on clusters of workstations newlineinterconnected with high speed networks newline newline
