Concept of virtual machine based high resolution display wall
2014
This paper presents the scalability and hardware dependency problems found in existing solutions in the high resolution display wall domain and proposes a new solution. Authors propose hosting the system that provides the visual content for the display wall inside a virtual machine. In such way any needed configuration of displays and resolutions can be applied to the graphics processing unit simulated by the virtualization system. The frame buffer content of the virtual graphics processing unit is then split, encoded with H.264 and sent over gigabit Ethernet as an RTP stream to the display wall. The display wall is driven by Raspberry Pi embedded devices that receive the stream, decode it …
Parallel Calculation of CCSDT and Mk-MRCCSDT Energies.
2010
A scheme for the parallel calculation of energies at the coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT) level of theory, several approximate iterative CCSDT schemes (CCSDT-1a, CCSDT-1b, CCSDT-2, CCSDT-3, and CC3), and for the state-specific multireference coupled-cluster ansatz suggested by Mukherjee with a full treatment of triple excitations (Mk-MRCCSDT) is presented. The proposed scheme is based on the adaptation of a highly efficient serial coupled-cluster code leading to a communication-minimized implementation by parallelizing the time-determining steps. The parallel algorithm is tailored for affordable cluster architectures connected by standard communication networks such as …
SmartARP: merging IP and MAC addressing for low-cost gigabit Ethernet networks
1999
Abstract Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is one of the key TCP/IP stack protocols, used on LANs to map 32 bit IP addresses into 48 bit hardware addresses. Regular ARP uses MAC layer broadcasts to perform the mapping. In this paper a new server-based ARP extension (smartARP) is proposed, which allows the extension of ARP functionality beyond a single MAC layer broadcast domain. Compared to regular IP router, smartARP together with simple broadcast-filtering switches presents a low-cost alternative for forwarding packets between MAC layer broadcast domains. SmartARP is transparent to existing IP hosts, operates independent of LAN speed, and scales for big networks.
Gigabit Ethernet backbones with active loops
2001
The current standard Ethernet switches are based on the Spanning Tree (ST) protocol. Their most important restriction is that they can not work when the topology has active loops. In fact, the ST protocol selects a tree from the real topology by blocking the links that are not involved in the tree. This restriction produces a network traffic unbalancing behavior saturating those link near the root switch while rest of links will be idle or with a very low utilization. This paper proposes a new transparent switch protocol for Gigabit Ethernet backbones that considerably improves the performance of current ones. The proposed protocol is named ALOR for Active Loops and Optimal Routing. ALOR pr…
The Argo YBJ daq system and the GRID based data transfer
2008
The Argo-YBJ experiment has now reached itsfinal design configuration. The detector system consists of a fullcoverage array (about 5800 square meters) of Resistive PlateChambers (RPCs). The throughput depends on the trigger rateand threshold. The DAQ system must be able to sustain a max-imum transfer rate of the order of 15 MB/s and a high peakdata flow. Data are read out using a typical front-end acquisitionchain built around a custom bus. Specialized electronics have beendesigned and dedicated software has been written to perform thistask. Data are sent to the online farm through a switch exploitinga gigabit ethernet protocol. A solution to transfer data from theYBJ laboratory to the labo…
Parallel Calculation of CCSD and CCSD(T) Analytic First and Second Derivatives.
2007
In this paper we present a parallel adaptation of a highly efficient coupled-cluster algorithm for calculating coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) and coupled-cluster singles and doubles augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations (CCSD(T)) energies, gradients, and, for the first time, analytic second derivatives. A minimal-effort strategy is outlined that leads to an amplitude-replicated, communication-minimized implementation by parallelizing the time-determining steps for CCSD and CCSD(T). The resulting algorithm is aimed at affordable cluster architectures consisting of compute nodes with sufficient memory and local disk space and that are connected by standard co…
