A Parallel Out-of-Core Computing System Using PVFS for Linux Clusters

Overview Cluster systems become a new and popular approach to parallel computing. More and more scientists and engineers use clusters to solve problems with large sets of data for its high processing power, low price and good scalability. Since the traditional out-of-core programs are difficult to write and the virtual memory system does not perform well, the authors develop a parallel out-of-core computing system using PVFS named POCCS. POCCS provides convenient interface to write out-of-core codes and the global view of the out-of-core data. The software architecture, data storage model and system implementation are described in this paper.

Analyst advice: How to choose an app server

I would view the deciding factor on the selection of an application server as being its ability to perform at an enterprise level. The decision to implement the product should be therefore made on how well the product performs without the optional...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
