Cluster is a widely-used term meaning independent computers combined into a unified system through software and networking. At the most fundamental level, when two or more computers are used together to solve a problem, it is considered a cluster. Clusters are typically used for High Availability for greater reliability or High Performance Computing to provide greater computational power than a single computer can provide.
Beowulf and openMosix represent two very relevant solutions for clustering.
Beowulf Clusters are scalable performance clusters based on commodity hardware, on a private system network, with open source software (Linux) infrastructure, while openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering which turns a network of ordinary computers into a supercomputer.
In this seminar, both Beowulf and openMosix will be presented. In particular, the focus of the talk will be on their installation, configuration and application fields.
