A Virtualized HPC Cluster Computing Environment on Xen with Web-Based User Interface

Nowadays, large-scale computing solutions are common issues. A PC cluster computing system is the solution to problems faced by end users. And problems associated with System Virtualization are evenly popular issues in recently years. This technology is necessarily needed for enterprises and end users in the future applications, indeed. This paper introduces how to implement and integrate virtualization with cluster computing system on Xen and how it works, and, also explains and contrasts the differences between non-virtualization and virtualization. The virtual cluster computing system is more efficient in operations and economic in power than the traditional cluster computing system; the virtualized cluster computing system is a trend of cluster system. This virtual cluster computing system is used to deal with large-scale problems instead of using the transitional cluster computing system.
