SUPERCOMPUTER LINUX/CLUSTER
In the application areas of scientific research, simulation and defense industry, it increasingly
requires for higher performance computation that exceeding the individual PC capacity. Cluster
technology enables to take many computers to the network, divides computing tasks among
them, forming an integrated and high performance computing system. Supercomputer Cluster is
one of AIC software applications that being released, well-proved with high reliability. |
