parallel computing using mpi and openmp on self-configured platform, umzhpc.

parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.in this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using mpi and openmp programming languages based on set of networked pcs. umzhpc is a free linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to create rapid high-performance computing clusters. it can convert heterogeneous pcs which interconnected by using a private local area network(lan) into a high-performance computing cluster. in this operating system, you can monitor your cluster and build it utilizing low-cost hardware. in addition, programs can be run in parallel by simply booting the portable umzhpc from fronted node by using only a cd or usb-flash drive. all the requisite configurations to build a cluster and to run your programs will be carried out automatically via umzhpc. we made the operating system publicly for research purposes.
