Hybrid OS Cluster Solution 1.5
The choice of an operating system (OS) for a high performance computing (HPC) cluster is a critical decision for IT departments. The goal of this paper is to show that simple techniques are available today to optimize the return on investment by making that choice unnecessary, and keeping the HPC infrastructure versatile and flexible. This paper introduces Hybrid Operating System Clusters (HOSC). An HOSC is an HPC cluster that can run several OS’s simultaneously. This paper addresses the situation where two OS’s are running simultaneously: Linux Bull Advanced Server for Xeon and Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008. However, most of the information presented in this paper can apply to 3 or more simultaneous OS’s, possibly from other OS distributions, with slight adaptations   More...
