Linux Cluster Architecture:

Author: Charles Hayes:




A computer cluster is a group of

tightly coupled computers that

work together closely so that in

many respects they can be viewed

as though they are a single

computer. The components of a

cluster are commonly, but not

always, connected to each other

through fast local area networks.

Clusters are usually deployed to

improve performance and/or

availability over that provided

by a single computer, while

typically being much more

cost-effective than single computers

of comparable speed or availability.

An example of a computer cluster is

depicted in the picture associated

with this curriculum:


Linux (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʊks/)

is a Unix-like computer operating

system. Linux is one of the most

prominent examples of free software

and open source development; its

underlying source code can be

modified, used, and redistributed

by anyone, freely. The Linux kernel

was first released to the public on

17 September 1991, for the Intel

x86 PC architecture. The kernel was

augmented with system utilities and

libraries from the GNU project to

create a usable operating system,

which later led to the alternate term

GNU/Linux. Linux is now packaged for

different uses in Linux distributions,

which contain the kernel along with

a variety of other software packages

tailored to requirements.

Predominantly known for its use in

servers, Linux has gained the support

of corporations such as IBM, Sun

Microsystems,Hewlett-Packard,and Novell,

and is used as an operating system for

a wide variety of computer hardware,

including desktop computers,

supercomputers, and embedded devices

such as mobile phones and routers.


@ With Linux Cluster Architecture:

Your Will Learn To:

* Assemble a Linux Cluster using PCs

and networking hardware:

* Configure the user and operating

system files to make these PCs

work together:

* Learn the C functions and operating

system calls used to build distributed

systems:

* Build a distributed transaction server,

and then measure and tune its performance:

* Add real-time performance monitoring, and

fault detection and recovery techniques:
