Intro to HPC: what’s a cluster? - insideHPC
WEBA high performance computer appropriate for most small and medium-sized businesses today is built from what are basically many ordinary computers connected together with a network and centrally coordinated by some special software. Because the computers are usually physically very close together, the common term for a high performance computer today is a cluster, and […]
A cluster: processors, disks, and more - insideHPC
WEBThe RAM in your cluster provides the temporary workspace for processors to do their work; when they are finished with a computation, though, they’ll need a place to write out the answer permanently. This place is the hard disks, controlled by the file system on your cluster. File system architecture can be complex, and its best to look to the ...
