Abstract
In the Image Processing Research Laboratory (INTI-Lab) of the Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades, the permission to use the embedded systems laboratory was obtained. INTI-Lab researchers will use this laboratory to do different research related to the processing of large scale videos, climate predictions, climate change research, physical simulations, among others. This type of projects, demand a high complexity in their processes, carried out in ordinary computers that result in an unfavorable time for the researcher. For this reason, one opted for the implementation of a high-performance cluster architecture that is a set of computers interconnected to a local network. This set of computers tries to give a unique behavior to solve complex problems using parallel computing techniques. The intention is to reduce the time directly proportional to the number of machines, giving a similarity of having a low-cost supercomputer. Different performance tests were performed scaling from 1 to 28 computers to measure time reduction. The results will show if it is feasible to use the architecture in future projects that demand processes of high scientific complexity.
Highlights
With the growth of technological advances related to the world of computing, new techniques are emerging that take full advantage of computers that are interconnected by the same local network
The cluster architecture can be of three types: high performance cluster (HPC), high availability cluster (HA) and high efficiency cluster (HP) [6] in this work an HPC architecture was implemented that uses powerful tools and processes of computing to generate data in advanced academic research [7], this type of architecture was chosen to take maximum advantage of computing resources in order to obtain successful results in less time, the more project proposals there are the need to use other types of architecture making the future laboratory of the institution a hybrid cluster, the characteristics of the HPC of the laboratory are as follows
It has scheduled a schedule of continuous improvement where the activities will be carried out depending on the need that arises in the direction of research of the Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades
Summary
With the growth of technological advances related to the world of computing, new techniques are emerging that take full advantage of computers that are interconnected by the same local network. The work was done in the embedded systems laboratory of the University of Sciences and Humanities for scientific purposes that would benefit the INTI-Lab to perform simulations of high scientific complexity. These types of architectures are commercially considered supercomputers because they are designed to increase computing power by allowing parallel processing of tasks and high-speed communication [2]. As is the case of the National Engineering University [4], which uses recycled computers to obtain a maximum computational benefit All these architectures that were mentioned are called Beowulf clusters. The maximum potential of the computers of the laboratory of embedded systems will be used, being the completion of this work a supercomputer with low computer resources
