Demonstration of Parallel Processing Computing: A Scalable Linux Personal Computer Cluster Approach
|
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe an innovative approach to teaching parallel computing concepts in a lab setting using a master and slave cluster of Pentium PCs strapped together using Scyld Corporation's Beowulf software, applying a straightforward, custom written prime number test analytical program. This classroom based parallel processing application serves to illustrate three useful topics for the advanced decision sciences student: 1) the Linux operating system and programming...
