Examples of Construction of PC Clusters
A. Fukuyama, M. Yagi, Hiroshi Naitou · プラズマ・核融合学会誌 · 2003
The experiences regarding the conctruction of PC clusters in three local laboratories are summarized. The number of CPU's varies from 2 to 32 (1 to 16 PC's). The performance of these clusters scales roughly with the number of CPU's. Using MPI, the merits of dual processing and/or hyper-threading technologies can be applied without any additional programming effort.
