Plugging Computer Labs to the Grid Pedro Ribeiro, Pedro Pereira, Luís Lopes and Fernando Silva 2007

Abstract

We present an architecture that allows the seamless configuration of computer labs to work as dedicated computing clusters duringperiods of user inactivity. The operation of the cluster is fully automated by making use of differentiated network booting and a job management system. We have prepared it to be plugged to a larger computational grid. We provide some preliminary performance results obtained.
