MRI: A High-Performance, Low-Cost Testbed for Network-based Research

EIA-9871022库珀曼、吉恩·凯利、大卫·R·东北大学磁共振成像：基于网络的研究的高性能、低成本试验台这项工作涉及从商用硬件开发高性能商品计算，这为更广泛地获得高性能计算打开了可能性。前提是，有效利用网络、存储和计算资源，以及规范和提供定义良好的服务质量，是关键的核心技术。此外，这些技术必须保持低成本，不需要对商业硬件或操作系统进行重大修改，并且不能要求大幅增加系统管理开销，这将超出技术含量较低的环境中合理预期的范围。这项研究将在东北大学新的伊根工程研究中心内进行。这项提案的调查人员来自计算机科学学院、数字处理中心和电气与计算机工程系。这些单位有合作和管理共享资源的历史，所有单位都在伊根大楼有研究场所，该大楼离拟议网络的地点非常近。

EIA-9871022 Cooperman, Gene Kaeli, David R. Northeastern University MRI: A High-Performance, Low-Cost Testbed for Network-based Research This work involves development of high-performance commodity computing from commodity hardware, which opens up possibilities of much wider access to high-performance computing. The premise is that efficient use of network, storage and computation resources, and the specification and provision of well defined qualities of service, are the critical core technologies. Further, these technologies must keep costs low by not requiring significant modifications in commercial hardware or operating systems, and they must not require a significant increase in system administration overhead, which would be beyond what could be reasonably expected in less technical environments. The research will take place within the new Egan Engineering Research Center at Northeastern University. The investigators on this proposal are from the College of Computer Science, the Center for Digital Processing and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These units have a history of working collaboratively and of managing shared resources and all have research place in the Egan building in a very close proximity to the location where the proposed network will be place.
