  • Aparallel computing environment was constructed based on Windows 2000 operating system. This cluster was configured using Fast-Ethernet system to hold up together the clients within a network domain. For the parallel computation, MPI implements for Windows such as MPICH.NT.1.2.2 and MP-MPICHNT.1.2 were used with Compaq Visual Fortran compiler which produce a well optimized executives for x86 systems. The evaluation of this cluster performance was carried out using a preconditioned Navier-Stokes code for the 2D analysis of a compressible and viscous flow around a compressor blade. The parallel performance was examined in comparison with those of Linux clusters studied previously by changing a number of processors, problem size and MPI libraries. The result from the test problems presents that parallel performance of the low cost Fast-Ethernet Windows cluster is superior to that of a Linux cluster of similar configuration and is comparable to that of a Myrinet cluster.

  • A new PC cluster was designed and constructed based on Windows XP Operating system. Primary target of the present design was the high node density per rack by using the general PC parts those are cost-effective and readily available in the market. Other major design points were system cooling and the convenient maintenance using standard PC parts. Presently 24 nodes per rack seems to be optimum considering the specification of the network switching device, system cooling and power supply, but 40 nodes can be accommodated within a single rack at maximum. Windows XP was selected as a high-performance computing environment considering the cost and the convenience in acquisition, maintenance and education. Both fast-Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet network connection were tested and compared with previous data, especially for Linux doter using Myrinet. The result shows that there is no significant difference between the operating systems and the Fast-Ethernet and/or Gigabit Ethernet are good solution for the high-performance PC cluster considering the cost and performance.

  • A parallel computing environment based on Windows operating system was constructed and a performance test was mode in comparison with Linux based systems. The Windows 2000 cluster was composed with servers and clients connected by Fast-ethernet, within which two sub-clusters may operates together or separately. Compaq Visual Fortran complier and two MPI libraries, MPICH.NT.1.2.2 and NT-MPICHNT.1.2 were installed as computing tools. Parallel computing performance tests were carried out using two-dimensional preconditioned Navier-Stokes code to examine the dependency on the number of processors, problem size and MPI libraries, those were compared with results from Linux clusters. Results shows that a cluster based on the user-friendly Windows operating system is also useful for the parallel computing and has good performance comparable to the previous Linux clusters.

  • Linux cluster Server makes a high performance PC cluster system, and provides scalablity and availability as compared with an expensive single server. In this paper, we design and implement a VOD streaming service system to serve video and audio streaming services on the Linux cluster server. Our Streaming server supports the MS Window Media Format based on the RTSP streaming protocol.

  • The spatial scan statistic is a widely used method to detect spatial clusters. The method imposes a large number of scanning windows with pre-defined shapes and varying sizes on the entire study region. The likelihood ratio test statistic comparing inside versus outside each window is then calculated and the window with the maximum value of test statistic becomes the most likely cluster. The results of cluster detection respond sensitively to the shape and the maximum size of scanning windows. The shape of scanning window has been extensively studied; however, there has been relatively little attention on the maximum scanning window size (MSWS) or maximum reported cluster size (MRCS). The Gini coefficient has recently been proposed by Han et al. (International Journal of Health Geographics, 15, 27, 2016) as a powerful tool to determine the optimal value of MRCS for the Poisson-based spatial scan statistic. In this paper, we apply the Gini coefficient to normal-based spatial scan statistics. Through a simulation study, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method. We illustrate the method using a real data example of female colorectal cancer incidence rates in South Korea for the year 2009.

  • This study proposes a method to manipulate fragmentation of disks by arbitrarily allocating and releasing the status of a disk cluster in the NTFS file system. This method allows experiments to be performed in several studies related to fragmentation problems on disk cluster. Typical applicable research examples include testing the performance of disk defragmentation tools according to the state of fragmentation, establishing an experimental environment for fragmented file carving methods for digital forensics, setting up cluster fragmentation for testing the robustness of data hiding methods within directory indexes, and testing the file system's disk allocation methods according to the various version of Windows. This method suggests how a single file occupies a cluster and presents an algorithm with a flowchart. It raises three tricky problems to solve the method, and we propose solutions to the problems. Experiments for allocating the disk cluster to be fragmented to the maximum extent possible, it then performs a disk defragmentation experiment to prove the proposed method is effective.

  • 지금까지의 소프트웨어 기반 분산 공유 메모리(이하 DSM이라 칭함)시스템은 유닉스 워크스테이션 클러스터를 목표로 하는 것이 대부분이었다. 그러나 현재 Windows-NT 는 서버급 시스템과 PC 모두를 위한 운영체제로서 유닉스와 더불어 널리 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Windows-NT 워크스테이션 클러스터 환경을 위한 DSM 시스템을 구현하고, 구현된 DSM 시스템의 성능 평가 결과를 제시한다. 구현된 DSM 시스템은 Win32 API와 표준 실행-시간 라이브러리를 이용해 구현되었기 때문에 모든 Windows-NT 워크스테이션에서 실행 가능하며 , 프로그래머는 몇 라인의 코드 추가만으로 DSM 시스템 상에서 수행되는 병렬 응용 프로그램을 작성할 수 있다. 워크스테이션 간의 상호연결망으로 범용성을 위해 이더넷 LAN을 지원하였고, 아울러 성능 향상을 위해 기가비트 SAN(System Area Network)도 지원하였다. 기가비트 SAN을 위한 하드웨어로는 Dolphin 사의 PCI-SCI 타입 제품인 Clustar를 사용하였다. 우리는 성능 평가를 통해, 구현된 DSM 시스템이 정확히 동작함은 물론 확장성이 뛰어나다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 , 기가비트 SAN을 사용할 경우 일부 병렬 벤치 마크 프로그램에서는 노드 수 증가에 따라 성능이 거의 선형적으로 향상된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문이 기여하는 바는 Windows-NT 기반 소프트웨어 DSM 시스템의 원천 기술을 확보함으로써 향후 Windows-NT 워크스테이션 클러스터 환경에서의 분산 및 병렬 처리 연구에 도움을 줄 수 있다는 점이다.

  • Since cluster analysis encompasses many diverse techniques for discovering structure within complex bodies of data, it has been employed as an effective tool in scientific inquiry. Recent works on cluster analysis softwares carried out by SAS, SPSS, S-PLUS and BMDP are briefly summarized and investigated in this paper. The inferred statistical package for windows executing a nay for data analysis in modern statistical techniques has several merits superior to other packages. Especially, S-PLUS can be designed and tried out much faster than other statistical packages. S-PLUS provides a graphic which is interactive, informative, flexible ways of looking at data. Also, if a statistical computation time is long and programs are complex, these can be shorten by providing interfaces to the UNIX systems (or C, Fortran).
