Numerical Performance in the Grid Network Relies on a Grid Appliance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 160))

Abstract

The author of this paper will introduce the issues related to performance of the numerical calculations carried out on non-homogeneous Grid network. Created Grid Network is running the Grid Appliance, which is based on a network operating system Ubuntu 9.04. The author performed the series of tests of this system. Performed tests demonstrated how the single node is working under different Grid configurations as well as what is the efficiency of the numerical calculations in a Grid network.
