Beowulf集群的手工建立方法及其性能测试

Building Beowulf Cluster by Hand and the Performance testing

试验平台的搭建在平行算法研究的过程中占据十分重要的地位。集群安装一般可借用一定的软件套件,讨论一种完全手工安装配置集群的方法。完全手工集群搭建方法能更好地加深对集群底层机制的理解,对手工组建集群的方法进行详细描述,用一个并行测试程序来测试所组建集群的性能,并与串行算法的性能进行比较。

It is improtant to build the platform during the research of parallel algorithm.Usually we can use some suit of software to build the cluster.This paper is concerned briefly about installing and configuring each node basically by hand using the standard installation tools that come with whatever linux distribution you selected to use.This can help undersdangding the mechanism of cluster.We also test the cluster’s performence and campare the result with serial program.
