Diapositive PPT
- cluster :
- best price / perfomance: “commodity cluster“
- fast growing importance of low cost PC or medium
cost UNIX multiprocessor workstation clusters with
dedicated high speed interconnects running Linux
(e.g. National Center for Atmospheric Research :
4 Tflops next-generation weather forecasting system)
- still clustering of global shared memory parallel
computers to reach world top performance
- memory :
- new storage conceptions overcoming the gap between
memory access and cpu performance
- global shared memory (DSM) without today‘s
disadvantages supplied by all hardware vendors
and also realizable for all low cost Linux clusters
