The Computing paradigm is changing from sequential to parallel, now cluster computing. Whole world in technology direction is working towards to find the efficient and cost effective computing environment. Cluster computing is among them which is using almost every area of research where processing of huge data demands. Cluster computing is a collection of tightly or loosely connected computers that work together so that they act as a single entity. The connected computers execute operations all together thus creating the idea of a single system. The clusters are generally connected through fast local area networks (LANs). In the most basic form. Cluster computing depicts a system that consists of two or more computers or systems, often known as nodes. These nodes work together for executing applications and performing other tasks. The users using nodes have an apprehension that only a single system responds to them, creating an illusion of a single resource called virtual machines. This concept is defined as the transparency of the system. Other essential features that are required for constructing such platforms include- reliability, load balancing, and performance.
This book presents a brief introduction of cluster with a block diagram and various classification of cluster depends on some factors. Also, the study of various challenges, benefits, applications and drawbacks of the cluster computing is presented. It discussed different tools and projects which are used in cluster computing. The entire aspects of cluster computing paradigm helps to understand and easy to decide their real world applications and gives some generic ideas in the world of computing technology. This can be easy to understand and differentiate with other computing models such as cloud and grid computing. Clusters or combinations of clusters are used when the content is critical, and services need to be available. Internet Service Providers or ISPs and e-commerce sites demand high availability and load balancing in a scalable manner. The parallel clusters are being extensively used in the film industry as they need high-quality graphics and animations. Talking about the Beowulf clusters, they are dominantly used in science, engineering, and finance to perform various critical projects. Researchers, organizations, and businesses use clusters to demand enhanced scalability, resource management, availability, and processing at affordable prices. This book will investigate clusters of computers as a computing platform for distributed computing. Please Login or Register to see this code
