Advanced Cluster Computing Research

Computer and Network System Research Laboratory, Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kasetsart University Under the collaboration of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Far East. Inc.

Introduction

Many important class computer applications such as computational fluid dynamic simulation, molecular dynamics simulation, bioinformatics application and business applications such as massive web and e-commerce services, large-scale databases and data mining usually demand a very high computing power. Recently, one technology that is used to build a high performance computing system is cluster computing. This technology is the methods of building large, scalable computing system from commodity off-the-shelf PC system linked together using high-speed network. This technology has a high potential to be applied successfully in Thailand since it offers many benefit scalability and high performance at a very economical cost.
Kasetsart University has conducted an extensive research in cluster computing since 1996. The goal is to make Thailand sustainable in the area of High Performance computing by allowing Thai researcher to integrate a high performance computing system from PC equipment available in the country. Current research focus on

Configuration of a Cluster System

The development of a fully integrated cluster environment called SCE (Scalable Clusters Environment) which consists of

  • - Automatics cluster infrastructure builder (Beowulf Builder) - Powerful middleware ( KSIX)
  • - Flexible batch scheduling system (SQMS)
  • - Autonomous and self- healing technology (AMATA)
  • - Advanced system management tools (SCMS)
  • - Advanced system instrumentation
  • Grid computing and Multicluster systems
  • The development of high performance parallel application in the area of Computational Fluid Dynamics

SCE structure and main software components

Research Results

  • The building of PIRUN cluster, largest computing system in Thailand.
  • The building of AMATA , very advanced cluster system. AMATA appears among a few success case of AMD Inc. Worldwide
  • National Invention Awards from Thailand Prime Minister ( Appreciation Award) in 2000.
  • More than 45 refereed publications in cluster computing research area
  • SCE (Scalable clusters Environment) software that are being distributed worldwide and being used by many commercial company such as COMPAQ , PSSClab as a part of their solutions . SCE consists of more than 300000 lines of code.
  • Partnership with AMD, COMPAQ, UTK, SDSC, MCS/Argonne National Laboratory, AIST (Japan), U. of Hongkong.
