  • Automated Virtual Machine Replication and Transparent Machine Switch Support for an Individual Personal Computer User by Beom He
    Automated Virtual Machine Replication and Transparent Machine Switch Support for An Individual Personal Computer User by Beom Heyn Kim A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto Copyright c 2011 by Beom Heyn Kim Abstract Automated Virtual Machine Replication and Transparent Machine Switch Support for An Individual Personal Computer User Beom Heyn Kim Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2011 As the price of computing devices drops, the number of machines managed by an in- dividual PC user has been increased. In many cases, a user with multiple computers wants to use an exact desktop environment across machines. For personal data replica- tion, there are several tools like DropBox, Live Mesh and Tonido. However, these tools can not provide software environment replication. Without a tool to replicate software environment, users have to manage each device's desktop environment separately which is hassling and difficult task to do manually. In this work, we explore the solution to help modern day PC users to perceive the consistent view of not only personal data but also a whole desktop environment. Our approach automatically replicates modifications made on the desktop environment of one machine to other devices using different replication policies for different network properties. Moreover, users can switch machines instantly and still see the exact environment. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would really appreciate to Professor David Lie for his patient men- toring, invaluable advice, financial support, and large amount of time spent on discussions for this research.

    CHEP 2003, La Jolla, California, March 24-28 2003 1 OpenMosix approach to build scalable HPC farms with an easy management infrastructure R. Esposito, P. Mastroserio, G. Tortone INFN, Napoli, I-80126, Italy F. M. Taurino INFM, Napoli, I-80126, Italy The OpenMosix approach is a good solution to build powerful and scalable computing farms. Furthermore an easy management infrastructure is implemented using diskless nodes and network boot procedures. In HENP environment, the choice of OpenMosix has been proven to be an optimal solution to give a general performance boost on implemented systems thanks to its load balancing and process migration features. In this poster we give an overview of the activities, carried out by our computing center, concerning the installation, management, monitoring, and usage of HPC Linux clusters running OpenMosix. sharing, load balancing algorithms and, in particular, the 1.

It was found that 1) There are more and more students who are in need of such computers for their computer-related study. 2) More budgets are needed for hard disk drive maintenance caused by electricity problem and incorrect usage. 3) Incorrect way of data editing. 4) No virus-protection program is set up or no program updated. 5) Too complicated way of hard disk drive’s management in computing center. 6) New developed software is not supported by old original operation system. 7) Too complicated way of software selection is the purpose of learning and study. So this research offers how to resolve problem by introducing the Diskless System for Computer Laboratory (DSCL) which is the new standard of storing the data which enable the computer and network center to save, retrieve and send-receive the data with high-speed network.

  • Cty ATVA05 System and Performance Monitoring on Diskless PC Clusters
    System and Performance Monitoring on Diskless PC Clusters Chao-Tung Yang and Ping-I Chen High-Performance Computing Laboratory Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Tunghai University, Taichung City, 40704 Taiwan, R.O.C. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the experiments of monitoring on SLIM and DRBL diskless PC clusters. We constructed the performance experimentations by using 16 computing nodes and only one hard disk. We used LAM/MPI and PVM to run the matrix multiplication program in order to evaluate their performance. We also used spm2 and ntop to monitoring the system status during performance evaluation. As the result, we can find that the network loading of SLIM is less than DRBL even though the performance result of DRBL is better than SLIM. Maybe this is because the DRBL use NFS to mount everything which the nodes needed. We can realize that if we want to construct a high-performance diskless Linux cluster. We should take care of the free space of main memory and the mounting method of file systems. Keywords: Diskless, System monitoring, Performance monitoring, PC clusters, DBRL, SLIM. 1 Introduction The use of loosely coupled, powerful and low-cost commodity components (PCs or workstations, typically), especially without any hard disk drive, connected by high- speed networks has resulted in the widespread usage of a technology popularly called diskless cluster. Strictly speaking, it consists of one or more servers which provide not only bootstrap service but also related network services (such as DHCP, NIS, NFS servers, and etc) and many clients with no hard disk drive requesting for booting from the network.

  • (Open)Mosix Experience in Naples
    (Open)Mosix Experience in Naples Rosario Esposito1, Francesco M. Taurino1,2, Gennaro Tortone1 1 (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, via Cintia – 80126 Napoli, Italy) 2 (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – UdR di Napoli, via Cintia – 80126 Napoli, Italy) This document is a short report of the activities carried out by the computing centre of INFN, INFM and Dept. of Physics at University of Naples “Federico II”, concerning the installation, management and usage of HPC Linux clusters running (open)Mosix [1][2]. These activities started on small clusters, running a local copy of the operating system and evolved through the years to a configuration of computing farms based on a diskless architecture, simplifying installation and management tasks. Introduction Thanks to high performances offered by low cost systems (common personal computers) and availability of operating systems like Linux, we were able to implement HPC clusters using standard PCs, connected to an efficient LAN. This solution offers several advantages: - lower costs than monolithic systems; - common technologies and components available trough the retailers (COTS, Components Off The Shelf); - high scalability. Mosix in Naples Our first test cluster was configured in January 2000. At that time we had 10 PCs running Linux Mandrake 6.1, acting as public Xterminals. They were used by our students to open Xsessions on a DEC-Unix AlphaServer to compile and execute simple simulation programs. Those machines had the following hardware configuration: - Pentium 200 Mhz - 64 MB RAM - 4 GB hard disk Each computer, with the operating system installed on the local disk, was connected to a 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet switch.
