Title
Meta-computations on the CLUSTERIX grid
Abstract
In the first part, we present the concept and implementation of the National Cluster of Linux System (CLUSTERIX) - a truly distributed national computing infrastructure with 12 sites (64-bit Linux PC-clusters) located accross Poland. The second part presents our experience in adaptation of selected scientific applications to the cross-site execution as meta-applications, using the MPICH-G2 environment. The performance results of experiments confirm that CLUSTERIX can be an efficient platform for running meta-applications. However, harnessing its computing power needs to take into account the hierarchical architecture of the infrastructure.
