Cluster Command & Control (C3) Tools Suite

  • Chapter
Distributed and Parallel Systems

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 567))

Abstract

The computation power of PC clusters running the Linux operating system rivals that of supercomputers of just a few years ago at a fraction of the purchase price. However, the lack of good administration and application tools represents a hidden operation cost that is often overlooked when proposing a cluster. This paper presents a number of command line tools developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for use in operating the HighTORC cluster. These same tools provide the “backend” connection to the cluster for our web based GUI tool suite M3C (Monitoring and Managing Multiple Clusters).
