Synopsis
For veteran Linux programmers, Spector explains how to tie a bunch of computer together with a network and get them all to work on a large problem that has been broken down into smaller pieces. NASA's 1994 Beowulf cluster for supercomputer performance was built in this way with Linux at the fraction of the cost for conventional approaches. The disk contains a version of Red Hat Linux 6.2 customized for clustering, ready to go. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

BUILDING LINUX CLUSTERS
Seller: LIBRERIA LEA+, Santiago, RM, Chile
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrator). 1. One approach to building supercomputers is to interconnect any number of common PCs using an interface like Ethernet. This method, called clustering or "Beowulf" clustering, produces very inexpensive powerful computers whose capabilities would previously have cost millions of dollars. Now for a few tens of thousands of dollars, very powerful computers can be built for any number of computing solutions. From scientific applications to transaction processing, clustering technology provides an affordable, scalable computing solution.Building Linux Clusters introduces the reader to the basics of cluster installation and configuration, and comes complete with a CD full of cluster installation programs and tools for parallel programming. Focusing on the "how to" of building a Linux cluster, this book is a hands-on guide for people new to clustering. It is the definitive guide to scaling Linux for scientific and enterprise applications. 580 gr. Libro. Seller Inventory # 9781565926257LEA14863
