This tutorial presents a recipe for the construction of a compute cluster for processing large volumes of data, using cheap, easily available personal computer hardware (Intel/AMD based PCs) and freely available open source software (Ubuntu…

A computational system for lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry is described. The platform is a home-made Linux PC cluster, built with off-the-shelf components. At present this system constitutes of 64 nodes, with each node consisting of…

Using commodity component personal computers based on Alpha processor and commodity network devices and a switch, we built an 8-node parallel computer. GNU/Linux is chosen as an operating system and message passing libraries such as PVM,…

The tremendous advance in computer technology in the past decade has made it possible to achieve the performance of a supercomputer on a very small budget. We have built a multi-CPU cluster of Pentium PC capable of parallel computations…

In this paper I present some experiences made in the matter of I/O for Linux Clustering. In particular is illustrated the use of the package openMosix, a balancer of workload for processes running in a cluster of nodes. I describe some…

In the last several years, tightly coupled PC clusters have become widely applied, cost effective resources for lattice gauge computations. This paper discusses the practice of building such clusters, in particular balanced design…

Motivated by the computational demands of our research and budgetary constraints which are common to many research institutions, we built a ``poor man's supercomputer'', a cluster of PC nodes which together can perform parallel calculations…

We present our ongoing work building a Raspberry Pi cluster consisting of 300 nodes. The unique characteristics of this single board computer pose several challenges, but also offer a number of interesting opportunities. On the one hand, a…

Having built up Linux clusters to more than 1000 nodes over the past five years, we already have practical experience confronting some of the LHC scale computing challenges: scalability, automation, hardware diversity, security, and rolling…

Today, many scientific and engineering areas require high performance computing to perform computationally intensive experiments. For example, many advances in transport phenomena, thermodynamics, material properties, computational…

Modern high-performance computing architectures (Multicore, GPU, Manycore) are based on tightly-coupled clusters of processing elements, physically implemented as rectangular tiles. Their size and aspect ratio strongly impact the achievable…

The openPC is a set of open source tools that realizes a parallel machine and distributed computing environment divisible into several independent blocks of nodes, and each of them is remotely but fully in any means accessible for users…

Programming a distributed system, such as a cluster, requires extended use of low-level communication libraries and can often become cumbersome and error prone for the average developer. In this work, we consider each node of a cluster as a…

The Offline Software of the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN consists of 6M lines of in-house code, developed over a decade by nearly 1000 physicists, as well as a comparable amount of general use open-source code.…

This article proposes a design and implementation of a low cost two-tier architecture model for high availability cluster combined with load-balancing and shared storage technology to achieve desired scale of three-tier architecture for…

Container technologies, like Docker, are becoming increasingly popular. Containers provide exceptional developer experience because containers offer lightweight isolation and ease of software distribution. Containers are also widely used in…

This paper presents a stream-oriented architecture for structuring cluster applications. Clusters that run applications based on this architecture can scale to tenths of thousands of nodes with significantly less performance loss or…

This study investigates the potential of WebAssembly as a more secure and efficient alternative to Linux containers for executing untrusted code in cloud computing with Kubernetes. Specifically, it evaluates the security and performance…

This study explores strategies for academic researchers to optimize computational resources within limited budgets, focusing on building small, efficient computing clusters. It delves into the comparative costs of purchasing versus renting…

We outline the essential features of a Linux PC cluster which is now being developed at National Taiwan University, and discuss how to optimize its hardware and software for lattice QCD with overlap Dirac quarks. At present, the cluster…
