DECS | | DEI System

Welcome to the DECS | | DEI System the first implementation of The n-System Cluster at "Università Politecnica delle Marche"!

The correct pronunciation is DECSorDEI System but for friends DD System ;-) is enough. The n-System is an open system that make easy to connect HPC Clusters together. This interconnection enhance the load balancing and the fault tolerant of the single component. For more information see The Mission and The n-System.

Phoenix Architecture is an open cluster architecture, realized using OpenSource Software ( GPL2/GPL3 or this OpenSource Licenses ). It is a Gentoo Linux Distribution designed for cluster application with the RootFS shared between all nodes of the Cluster. Torque - Maui and OpenMPI are chose as default system to share cpu power.

First generation of Phoenix Architecture have Network Raid ( Network Block Device + Linux Software Raid ) to have a unified space disk, Ganglia to monitor the work flow, LAMP Platform for remote management, KVM to build virtual cluster and cloud supercomputing and GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) to execute GPGPU Application.

Second generation of Phoenix Architecture is now ready to be used, many improvements was made and many other will be, see a detailed list here.

To enjoy in this Project see Cluster Project. To became a user see Scientific Activities.

Phoenix 2.0 Architecture

By now in the DECS | | DEI System there are 3 clusters based on Phoenix 1.0 Architecture: Virgo, Colossus, CLiMaX and near in the future more others will be interconnected.

Every start has its end but if every end is its start every effort may be null by Ruggero
