Parallel computing using MPI and OpenMP on self-configured platform, UMZHPC. (English) Zbl 1418.68042

Summary: Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains. In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to create rapid high-performance computing clusters. It can convert heterogeneous PCs which interconnected by using a private Local Area Network (LAN) into a high-performance computing cluster. In this operating system, you can monitor your cluster and build it utilizing low-cost hardware. In addition, programs can be run in parallel by simply booting the portable UMZHPC from fronted node by using only a CD or USB-flash drive. All the requisite configurations to build a cluster and to run your programs will be carried out automatically via UMZHPC. We made the operating system publicly for research purposes.
