Linux High Performance Clusters (Paperback)

"Linux High Performance Clusters" is an in-depth look at creating clustered high-performance computing systems with Linux and off-the-shelf computer hardware. Building from the ground up, you will be guided through the nuts and bolts of creating a tuned distributed cluster and a shared memory super-computing cluster along with a set of performance monitoring tools. You'll learn all the steps involved in: Iterconnecting the hardware Configuring the software Setting up a user home directory for software development Writing distributed system software Instrumenting the source code Analyzing the performance results Tuning the system Author Alex Vrenios is the founder of Distributed Systems Research Lab, and is one of the leading authorities in this field. He will provide you with real-world examples that include source code while also providing you with enough theory and overview that you will be able to maximize your system.
