A Linux PC Cluster With Diskless Slave Nodes for Parallel Computing
Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS
Tags: ethernet, benchmark, remote access, linux, pc, network
Overview This paper describes how to set up a diskless Linux box. As technology is advancing rapidly, network-cards are becoming cheaper and much faster - 100 Mbits/s Ethernet is common now and in about 1 year 1000 Mbits/s i.e. 1GigBits Ethernet cards will become a standard. With high-speed network cards, remote access will become as fast as the local disk access which will make diskless nodes a viable alternative to workstations in local LAN. In this paper, a SMP-based PC cluster consists of one master node and eight diskless slave nodes (16 processors), is proposed and built. The system architecture and benchmark performances of the cluster are also presented in this paper.
