RECRUITING ADDITIONAL RESOURCE FOR HPC SIMULATION

摘要

Graphics processing units (CPUs) deployed in general purpose GPU (GPGPU) units are combined into a GPGPU cluster. Access to the remote GPGPU cluster is then offered as a service to users who can use their own computers to communicate with the GPGPU cluster. The users' computers can be standalone desktop systems, laptops, or even another GPGPU cluster. The user can run a parallelized application locally and patiently wait for results or can dynamically recruit the remote GPGPU cluster to obtain those results more quickly. Dynamic recruitment means that the users can add remote GPGPU resources to a running application.
