Rapid Parallel Systems Deployment: Techniques for Overnight Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated system deployment frameworks and configuration management systems have been in wide use for a number of years. However, due to increasing pressures to maintain high availability, coupled with the price effects of commodity servers, administrators may be required to deploy large numbers of systems in shorter time frames than is normally possible with available staff. In this paper, we describe a straightforward procedure using commonly-available infrastructure to enable rapid simultaneous deployment of hundreds of machines by temporary staff. As an example of the efficacy of this approach, we present a case study in rapid systems deployment at Purdue University. On May 5th, we deployed Purdue’s ‘‘Steele’’ cluster, installing over 500 compute nodes in a single business day.

A MapReduce-based parallel K-means clustering for large-scale CIM data verification
The Common Information Model (CIM) has been heavily used in electric power grids for data exchange among a number of auxiliary systems such as communication systems, monitoring systems and marketing systems. With an rapid deployment of digitalized devices in electric power networks, the volume of data continuously grows which makes verification of CIM data a challenging issue. This paper presen...
متن کاملA partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems
Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...

This paper compares clusters of aligned Persian and English texts obtained from k-means method. Text clustering has many applications in various fields of natural language processing. So far, much English documents clustering research has been accomplished. Now this question arises, are the results of them extendable to other languages? Since the goal of document clustering is grouping of docum...
متن کاملAn Optimization K-Modes Clustering Algorithm with Elephant Herding Optimization Algorithm for Crime Clustering
The detection and prevention of crime, in the past few decades, required several years of research and analysis. However, today, thanks to smart systems based on data mining techniques, it is possible to detect and prevent crime in a considerably less time. Classification and clustering-based smart techniques can classify and cluster the crime-related samples. The most important factor in the c...
متن کاملEnergy-efficient distributed clustering in wireless sensor networks
The deployment of wireless sensor networks in many application areas requires self-organization of the network nodes into clusters. Clustering is a networkmanagement technique, since it creates a hierarchical structure over a flat network. Quite a lot of node clustering techniques have appeared in the literature, and roughly fall into two families: those based on the construction of a dominatin...
