The Research And Realization On HPC Cluster Technology

High performance computing cluster has their target on promoting scientific computing capabilities and has become a very important branch of computer science. The study on high performance cluster for scientific research and implementations is highly helpful to make progresses in technology, economy, national security, and the popularity of high performance clusters in our nation.This paper introduces the key technologies in the implementation of high performance computers based on PC, such as high performance computing and cluster building, etc. and suggests a 16 node cluster build up by PCs, which also uses Linux OS, SSH, MPI technologies. The whole cluster was tested under High Performance Linpack. And based on the testing results, this paper discusses an enumerate-sorting algorithm used in this cluster system, which would further the study on implementation of large scale high performance clusters build up by PC.
