  1. BUILDING of 3 R'sCLUSTER PARALLEL COMPUTER Presented by: Yash Gurung, ICFAI UNIVERSITY.Sikkim

  2. Introduction: • Parallel computing may be defined as the simultaneous use of several processors to execute a computer program. • There two types of parallel architectures • Shared memory multiprocessor(SMP) • Cluster Parallel Computer

  3. Figure 1: Cluster Parallel computer

  4. Cluster: • A cluster is simply a “stack” of processor machines usually mounted in a rack. • The stack is configured such that one machine is designated the head node and a file server node to all the other machines. • Client nodes technically known as slave nodes are connected, via an internal network

  5. Figure 2: Cluster Computer Architecture

  6. Literature Review • Bewulf Cluster Project: was started at the Center of Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences NASA in early 1994.

  7. Hardware Configuration specification: • One Master Node: • Two Pentium III 1GHz CPU, 512M RAM, three 3Com 3c905c Ethernet cards, one 30G bytes hard disk, one floppy, one VGA card, one monitor • One NFS and NFS Root Server Node: • Two Pentium III 1GHz CPU, 512M RAM, two 3Com 3c905c Ethernet cards, one 30G bytes hard disk, one floppy, one VGA card, one monitor • 11 Client Nodes: • One Pentium III 1GHz CPU, 512M RAM, two 3Com 3c905c Ethernet cards, no hard disk, one floppy, one VGA cards (for debugging) • 2 Hubs • D-Link DES-1016R, D-Link DFE-916DX

  8. Software Configuration specification: • Operating system: Red Hat 6.2 • Network booting: Etherboot-4.0 • Parallel computing: Message Passing Interface mpich-1.2.1

  9. Figure 2: Example of Cluster Computer SUGAR cluster.

  10. SUGAR CLUSTER: • The Syracuse group has constructed a 320 CPU node parallel computer called the SUGAR cluster. It consists of • Head nodes: 6 Sun X2200-M2 computers, each containing two Dual-Core AMD Opteron 2.6 GHz processors • Compute nodes: Eighty servers each with one quad core Intel 2.4 GHz Xeon CPU and 8 Gb of RAM provide a total of 320 CPU cores and 640 Gb of RAM for the cluster • Cluster storage is provided by four file servers, each with 24 Tb of disk storage

  11. The compute nodes and head nodes are connected via copper gigabit Ethernet (1000baseT)to a switch.

  12. ALICE CLUSTER: • a cluster of 64 dual-processor Pentium Pros running at 200 MHz • All PCs are connected through a central Fast Ethernet switch • In addition, there is a master node, a file server, and 4 development nodes.

  13. Figure 3: ALICE CLUSTER

  14. Justification: • The three R’s: • Reuse. • Reduce. • Recycle. • Building of a computer by reusing the hardware components of the unused computers

  15. Figure 4: Possible Configuration

  16. Figure 5 : Possible Configuration

  17. Methodology: 1. Survey and Collection of functional hardware and both software components from various sources. 2. Assembling of the components into a functional unit. 3. Designing a layout for the final product. 4. Loading of necessary Softwares. 5. Analysis and testing of the product.

  18. Expected results: • High Performance. • Expandability. • High Throughput. • High Availability

  19. Conclusion: • It is certain that building a new computer by recyling the out of use hardware product, will invite lot of problems regarding the various issues that are related with the designing, implenting etc. • But it is still encouraging to construct a working computer then not to use it all.
