High Performance Cluster Configuration System Management is a must-have book for system managers, cluster managers, and application designers/developers who need to understand how to optimize the use of their available computer resources. This book covers the traditional cluster configurations as well as the latest technical information available in memory channel, SCSI, and fiber-based clusters through OpenVMS 7.0. All cluster interconnections and possible configuration scenarios are explored with an emphasis on efficient resource use and the ability to maximize processing power. Because efficient movement and storage of data is important in the design of high performance systems, this book also addresses effective storage management using the latest Storageworks solutions such as fiber and HSJ controller configurations. Part of designing a high performance cluster is keeping it operating at peak efficiency. This book details the different performance tools that are available and goes through multiple tuning scenarios offering guidance and commentary.

Optimizing HPC Applications with Intel® Cluster Tools takes the reader on a tour of the fast-growing area of high performance computing and the optimization of hybrid programs. These programs typically combine distributed memory and shared memory programming models and use the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP for multi-threading to achieve the ultimate goal of high performance at low power consumption on enterprise-class workstations and compute clusters. The book focuses on optimization for clusters consisting of the Intel® Xeon processor, but the optimization methodologies also apply to the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor and heterogeneous clusters mixing both architectures. Besides the tutorial and reference content, the authors address and refute many myths and misconceptions surrounding the topic. The text is augmented and enriched by descriptions of real-life situations.
