Lecture Notes On High Performance Computing

Lecture Notes On High Performance Computing

The following Lecture Notes on High Performance Computing from VSS University of Technology deal indepth with new computing paradigms aimed at the efficient execution of large computations. This PDF covers Cluster Computing, a form of parallel processing wherein a group of computers that are symmetrically linked work symptomatically as one system to enhance computation power. It looks at Scalable Parallel Computer Architectures, which can grow as demand for processing goes up. This discusses key components of clusters and the role of Cluster Middleware in creating a Single System Image. The notes describe the Evolution of Metacomputing, which covers development and integration aspects of distributed computing resources. Other topics that are considered in this regard include resourcesharing concepts like Load Sharing and Balancing. Furthermore, Grid Computing and Cloud Computing, concepts based on distributed resources and remote servers, will also be discussed. It also deals with the provisioning of Virtual Machines and Time and Spaceshared provisioning in order to provide insight into some efficient resource management and virtualization issues in highperformance computing environments.
