The PMS project: Poor Man’s Supercomputer

We briefly describe the Poor Man’s Supercomputer (PMS) project that is carried out at Eötvös University, Budapest. The goal is to develop a cost effective, scalable, fast parallel computer to perform numerical calculations of physical problems that can be implemented on a lattice with nearest neighbour interactions. To reach this goal we developed the PMS architecture using PC components and de...

Cluster Computing: The Commodity Supercomputer

The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors is making the usage of clusters, or networks, of computers an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters, built using Commodity-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware components as well as free, or commonly used, software, are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing...
