Computer Cluster
A computer cluster is a set of computers that work together so that they can be viewed as a single system. Unlike grid computers, computer clusters have each node set to perform the same task, controlled and scheduled by software. The components of a cluster are usually connected to each other through fast local area networks, with each node (computer used as a server) running its own instance of an operating system. In most circumstances, all of the nodes use the same hardware and the same operating system, although in some setups (e.g. using Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR)), different operating systems can be used on each computer, or different hardware. Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and availability over that of a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or availability. Computer clusters emerged as a result of convergence of a number of computing trends including t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
BSD License
BSD licenses are a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and distribution of covered software. This is in contrast to copyleft licenses, which have share-alike requirements. The original BSD license was used for its namesake, the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), a Unix-like operating system. The original version has since been revised, and its descendants are referred to as modified BSD licenses. BSD is both a license and a class of license (generally referred to as BSD-like). The modified BSD license (in wide use today) is very similar to the license originally used for the BSD version of Unix. The BSD license is a simple license that merely requires that all code retain the BSD license notice if redistributed in source code format, or reproduce the notice if redistributed in binary format. The BSD license (unlike some other licenses e.g. GPL) does not require that source code be distributed at all. Terms In addition t ...

OpenLava
OpenLava is a workload job scheduler for a cluster of computers. OpenLava was pirated from an early version of Platform LSF. Its configuration file syntax, application program interface (API), and command-line interface (CLI) have been kept unchanged. Therefore, OpenLava is mostly compatible with Platform LSF. OpenLava was based on the Utopia research project at the University of Toronto. OpenLava was allegedly licensed under GNU General Public License v2, but that licensing was proven to be invalid at trial. History In 2007, Platform Computing (now part of IBM) released Platform Lava 1.0, which is a simplified version of Platform LSF 4.2 code, licensed under GNU General Public License v2. Platform Lava had no additional releases after v1.0 and was discontinued in 2011. In June 2011, OpenLava 1.0 code was committed to GitHub. Commercial support In 2014, a number of former Platform Computing employees founded Teraproc Inc., which contributed development and provided commerc ...

OpenHPC
OpenHPC is a set of community-driven FOSS tools for Linux based HPC. OpenHPC does not have specific hardware requirements. History A birds-of-a-feather panel discussion titled "Community Supported HPC Repository & Management Framework" convened at the 2015 edition of the International Supercomputing Conference. The panel discussed the common software components necessary to build linux compute clusters and solicited feedback on community interest in such a project. Following the response, the OpenHPC project was announced at SC 2015 under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. Releases Design OpenHPC provides an integrated and tested collection of software components that, along with a supported standard Linux distribution, can be used to implement a full-featured compute cluster. Components span the entire HPC software ecosystem including provisioning and system administration tools, resource management, I/O services, development tools, numerical libraries, and performance a ...

Apache Mesos
Apache Mesos is an open-source project to manage computer clusters. It was developed at the University of California, Berkeley. History Mesos began as a research project in the UC Berkeley RAD Lab by then PhD students Benjamin Hindman, Andy Konwinski, and Matei Zaharia, as well as professor Ion Stoica. The students started working on the project as part of a course taught by David Culler. It was originally named ''Nexus'' but due to a conflict with another university's project, was renamed to Mesos. Mesos was first presented in 2009 (while still named Nexus) by Andy Konwinski at HotCloud '09 in a talk accompanying the first paper published about the project. Later in 2011 it was presented in a more mature state in a talk by Zaharia at the Usenix Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation conference about the paper "Mesos: A Platform for Fine-Grained Resource Sharing in the Data Center" by Benjamin Hindman, Andy Konwinski, Zaharia, Ali Ghodsi, Anthony D.

Globus Toolkit
The Globus Toolkit is an open-source toolkit for grid computing developed and provided by the Globus Alliance. On 25 May 2017 it was announced that the open source support for the project would be discontinued in January 201 due to a lack of financial support for that work. The Globus service continues to be available to the research community under a freemium approach, designed to sustain the software, with most features freely available but some restricted to subscriber In late 2017 thGrid Community Forum(GridCF) created a fork of the Globus Toolkit named the 'Grid Community Toolkit'' or GCT in short and took over maintenance and development of the code base. The GridCF added support for Transport_Layer_Security#TLS_1.3, TLS 1.3 and also compatibility with OpenSSL 3.0 to its fork of the Globus Toolkit.
