Overview
The Cluster Research Lab performs fundamental research and development
in operating systems and clusters. Our goal is to drastically improve
the way clusters are built, managed, and used.
Objective
Our approach is to subtract rather than add to existing software and
to replace artifacts from desktop computing.
Research and Development Areas
We call our new cluster architecture a Science Appliance. Our software
suite is called Clustermatic. Science Appliance tools enable..
- node boot in under 10 seconds (LinuxBIOS)
- cluster boot and upgrade in under 2 minutes (LinuxBIOS, BProc)
- manageble nodes from power-on (LinuxBIOS, BProc)
- single system image of the entire cluster (BProc)
- fast process migration (BProc)
- fast cluster monitoring (Supermon)
In the News
ASCI Lightning to will run Clustermatic software.
The Cluster Research takes delivery of Pink, a 1024-node (2048
processor) LinuxBIOS/BProc Cluster for systems research.
