Definition
The recent advances in high-speed networks and improved microprocessor performance are making clusters or networks of workstations an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters built using commodity hardware and software components are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing.

Tabu Search Algorithm for Cluster Building in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The challenge in wireless sensor network deployment pertains to optimizing energy consumption when collecting data from sensor nodes. This paper proposes a new centralized clustering method for a data collection mechanism in wireless sensor networks, which is based on network energy maps and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. The clustering problem is modeled as a hypergraph partitioning and its resolution is based on a tabu search heuristic. Our approach ....etc

Terracotta is Open Source JVM-level clustering software for Java. It delivers clustering as a runtime infrastructure service, which simplifies the task of clustering a Java application immensely, by effectively clustering the JVM underneath the application, instead of clustering the application itself. Terracotta's JVM-level clustering can turn single-node, multi-threaded applications into distributed, multi-node applications, often with no code changes. Terracotta uses standard bytecode manipulation techniques to plug into the Java Memory Mod ....etc

A cluster is a type of parallel or distributed processing system, which consists of a collection of interconnected stand-alone computers co - operatively working together as a single, integrated computing resource. This cluster of computers shares common network characteristics like the same namespace and it is available to other computers on the network as a single resource. These computers are linked together using high-speed network interfaces between themselves and the actual binding together of the all the individual computers in the clust ....etc

Operational and technical aspects of cluster munitions

Mark HIZNAY

Many military establishments believe that cluster munitions increase the efficiency of suppressing, killing or destroying multiple targets within an area and they remain a key military equity. First used in the Second World War and used in 21 states since then, their technology has evolved and they are today perceived as a significant component in the self-defense capability of many states. However, cluster munitions have also demonstrated sev ....etc

HBA DISTRIBUTED METADATA MANAGEMENT FOR LARGE SCALE CLUSTER BASED STORAGE SYSTEM

Abstract: An efficient and distributed scheme for file mapping or file lookup is critical in decentralizing metadata management within a group of metadata servers, here the technique used called HIERARCHICAL BLOOM FILTER ARRAYS (HBA) to map filenames to the metadata servers holding their metadata. The Bloom filter arrays with different levels of accuracies are used on each metadata server. The first one with low accuracy and used to capture the destination metad ....etc

Design Of Cluster Logical Volume Manager

Abstract :

In an open systems environment, logical volume manager (LVM) virtualizes storage by consolidating physical storage into logical volumes, which are available to applications or file systems. LVMs are available on most Unix platforms (including Linux) and on Windows 2000. By assembling virtual storage volumes out of numerous physical devices, you can create storage configurations tuned for specific applications, without the limitations of specific hardware devices. Instead, you can make ....etc

Abstract
A computer cluster is a group of loosely coupled computers that work together closely so that in many respects it can be viewed as though it were a single computer. Clusters are commonly connected through fast local area networks and are usually deployed to improve speed and/or reliability over that provided by a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or reliability. Clusters built from open source software, particularly based on the GNU/Linux operating system, are in ....etc
