Cluster Computing: Development of a Beowulf LINUX cluster to achieve a supercomputer performance for NASA’s Land Information System (LIS). [With Dr. Christa Peters-Lidard]

Abstract:
Supercomputers are extremely fast computers that can perform gigantic amount of computational tasks within a second. Since supercomputers are very expensive, they are accessible principally by national labs, large companies, and universities. However, the demand for this huge computing engine is widespread. The rise in parallel computing and distributed computing in the late 90’s coupled with today’s super fast microprocessor, memory, and network technology introduced an alternative solution. Developing Beowulf cluster of computers, we can achieve near supercomputer performance on affordable and regularly available PCs or workstations. This has motivated the development of a LINUX cluster for NASA’s Land Information System (LIS) that requires massively parallel computation. This paper depicts the implementation of LIS LINUX cluster.
