A Network Parallel Computing System Based on Ethernet

Network parallel computing is a problem solving procedure that using diversified computing resources simultaneously. It is an effective ways to large calculation at present. In order to carry out network parallel computing, two basic conditions are required: network parallel computing system and MPI. The former provides the hardware platform and MPI is uniform programming environments for parallel program design. This paper elaborated the building process of a network parallel computing system from the following aspects: hardware , network setting, the configuration and using of MPI. An example is given to test the performance of the whole system. The results show that it is a better solving way to small-scale task.
