Abstract

Nowadays, more and more applications are computing-intensive, such as search engines, online game servers, or even fMRI, used in medical examination. Supercomputers are setup to meet the computing demand as well as huge data storage. However, some applications favor computing power much more than data storage. To emphasize on providing computing power with low cost, low power, high scalability and dependability, this work presents a platform which involves a group of computing clusters. A cluster consists of up to 12 processors. A computing job is distributed to a group of processors for speed-up. Moreover, an FPGA may join for further acceleration. A set of front-end servers is responsible for job dispatching and maintains reliability. The system details are described. Current status and ongoing work are also reported.
低成本、低功耗、高可扩展性和可靠性的处理器集群平台
如今,越来越多的应用程序是计算密集型的,比如搜索引擎、在线游戏服务器,甚至是用于医学检查的功能磁共振成像。超级计算机的建立是为了满足计算需求和巨大的数据存储。然而,有些应用程序更喜欢计算能力而不是数据存储。为了强调提供低成本、低功耗、高可扩展性和高可靠性的计算能力,本工作提出了一个涉及一组计算集群的平台。一个集群最多由12个处理器组成。一个计算任务被分配给一组处理器来加速。此外,FPGA可以加入以进一步加速。一组前端服务器负责作业调度和可靠性维护。介绍了系统的详细信息。还报告了目前的状况和正在进行的工作。
