White Paper Upgrading content site infrastructure from a single node to a locally distributed Web cluster composed by multiple server nodes provides a limited relief, because the cluster wide-area connectivity may become the bottleneck. [10 Jul 2008]
Improving Performance of a Dynamic Load Balancing System by Using Number of Effective Tasks
White Paper Previously, most research in this area has focused on balancing the load of each node to use the resources of an entire system more effectively. This kind of load balancing system, known as an initial job placement system, requires knowledge of the... [10 Jul 2008]
Optimal Load Balancing in a Beowulf Cluster
White Paper PANTS (PANTS Application Node Transparency System) is a suite of programs designed to add transparent load balancing to a Beowulf cluster so that processes are transferred among the nodes of the cluster to improve performance. [10 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper Total load on node is calculated using queue length which is measured as the total number of processes in queue. Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to... [10 Jul 2008]
StoneGate High Availability Firewall and VPN: FIPS 140-2 Validation Security Policy
White Paper FIPS 140-2 testing is done for one firewall node. It also provides remote VPN client connectivity to the firewall cluster. StoneGate High Availability Firewall and VPN product consists of three main components: StoneGate Firewall management server... [10 Jul 2008]
Incentive, Resilience and Load Balancing in Multicasting Through Clustered de Bruijn Overlay Network
White Paper Furthermore, it reduces the forwarding load of every node to the stream bandwidth (every node uploads as much as it downloads) even when the size of its cluster varies. Each node thus has incentive to forward since recipients send back other... [10 Jul 2008]
Adaptive and Scalable Load Balancing Scheme for Sort-Last Parallel Volume Rendering on GPU Clusters
White Paper Moreover, it also exploits a 3D clustering method to determine visibility order and save the AGP bandwidths on each rendering node. Sort-last parallel rendering using a cluster of GPUs has been widely used as an efficient method for visualizing... [10 Jul 2008]
Non-Shared Disk Cluster - A Fault Tolerant, Commodity Approach to Hi-Bandwidth Data Analysis
White Paper The prototype hardware consists of two small clusters of linux nodes (about 10 dual-CPU nodes), a few 100 GB local disk on each node. The local disk on each node is not exported on the network so that all processing of data occurs on processors... [09 Jul 2008]
64-Bit Compute Cluster Performs Crash Analysis, Aides in Safety Compliance
White Paper An 8-node, 64-bit cluster based on Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server (WCCS) 2003 helps Bombardier perform simulations even for the new, extended regulations, while still meeting fixed project schedules. [09 Jul 2008]
Florida Boosts Productivity, Cuts Run Times With High-Performance Computing Cluster
White Paper In 2005, the IMC built a five-node computer cluster and began testing Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 in the field. Offering 64-bit processor support, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 has helped the IMC boost productivity and decrease the... [07 Jul 2008]
Cosworth Racing Moves into Pole Position with Advanced IBM Cluster for Linux
White Paper After reviewing the offerings of various vendors, Cosworth Racing selected an eight-node IBM eServer Cluster 1350 running Red Hat Linux. The IBM cluster enables Cosworth Racing to tackle simulation tasks that would not have been feasible on its... [03 Jul 2008]
Intel Dual-Core HPC Cluster Uses Next-Generation Intel Xeon Processors
White Paper Intel has delivered on Moore's Law using dual-core processing to build a 128-node High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster that delivers theoretical peak performance of 3.2 teraflops and sustained performance of over 2.1 teraflops. [31 May 2008]
Build Strong, Flexible J2EE apps With a WebSphere Cluster Environment
White Paper The cluster can be on the same node or on different nodes. One important consideration is allowing the application to run efficiently in a cluster environment. This paper discusses what one needs to consider when designing a Web-based application... [09 May 2008]
Deployment Cookbook: Quick Migration With Virtual Server Host Clustering
White Paper With this configuration, workloads can migrate easily from one node to the other. Virtual Server host clustering is a way of combining Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 with the server cluster feature in Windows Server 2003. [03 Apr 2008]
Comparing Cluster Interconnects: LS-DYNA Performance Benchmarks for Gigabit Ethernet and Cisco Double Data Rate InfiniBand
White Paper Though the characteristics of an application affect performance results, one also should consider node configuration, interconnect and switching fabric type and configuration, protocol offloading technology, storage, and file system type. [03 Apr 2008]
