CLUSTERIX (National CLUSTER of LInuX Systems)
This project contains the concept of building the National Cluster of Linux Systems (CLUSTERIX) - a distributed PC-cluster
(or metacluster) of a new generation. Its implementation makes it possible to deploy a production-class Grid environment,
which consists of local PC-clusters with 64- and 32-bit architectures, located in geographically distant independent centers.
The management software (middleware) being developed will allow dynamic changes in the hardware configuration. The software
based on Open Source environments will allow extending the existing functionality and creating new tools as necessary. The
resulting system will be tested on a set of pilot distributed applications developed as a part of the project. The project
is being implemented by 12 Polish supercomputing centers and metropolitan area networks (MANs), with the Technical University
of Czestochowa as the project coordinator.
