The experiment platform reform of parallel computing course

Traditional parallel computing experiment platforms are made by multiple servers, which are expensive and their maintenance are complicated and cost high. Aiming at these problems, a new experiment platform is proposed in this paper based on KVM and Linux. The platform can run in multi-core personal computer (PC), which is cheap and can be implemented simply. The software is open source Linux based, which is easy to maintain and operate. Comparing with other ones, the proposed platform can be installed and maintain more easily and the function is more complete. And it is very helpful for college students to learn parallel computing curriculum and improve their practical ability and experiment skills.
