High-performance computing: clusters, constellations, MPPs, and future directions
Last year’s paper by Bell and Gray [1] examined past trends in high performance computing and asserted likely future directions based on market forces. While many of the insights drawn from this perspective have merit and suggest elements governing likely future directions for HPC, there are a number of points put forth that we feel require further discussion and, in certain cases, suggest alte...
متن کاملMPPs versus Clusters
In coming years, if not already, the parallel-processing community can expect to hear regularly from MPP advocates and cluster advocates about why their approach is better. Either pitch is apt to be a hard sell: hard to sell to an informed audience or reader, and dull. The attempt to distinguish between MPPs and clusters is in some cases an empty subject. By the term “cluster,” I mean a group o...
متن کاملHigh Performance Computing and Beowulf Clusters
Networks of personal computers (so called Beowulf systems) composed of fast PCs configured with large quantities of RAM and hard disk, and running the Linux operating system are becoming more and more attractive as cheap and efficient platforms for distributed applications. The main drawback of a standard Beowulf architecture is the poor performance of the conventional inter-process communicati...
متن کاملHigh Performance Computing – Past, Present and Future
This is a useful definition of HPC – since it reflects the reality that HPC is a moving target: what is state of the art supercomputing this year will be desktop computing in a few years' time. Before we look towards the future for HPC, it is well worthwhile for us to spend a little time surveying the incredible technological progress in computing over the past 50 years. We will then quickly re...
متن کاملCloud computing: Challenges and future directions
A computer’s operating system, applications and data are typically installed and stored in the ‘traditional’ computing environment. In a cloud computing environment, individuals and businesses work with applications and data stored and/or maintained on shared machines in a web-based environment rather than physically located in the home of a user or a corporate environment. Lew Tucker, Vice Pre...
