Construção e configuração de um aglomerado com computadores em laboratórios de informática

Abstract

Along the years, technological advances about computer components make new computers more powerful than the currently produced. This advance bring us doubts: what do about the old computer? How make use of them usefully? This work aims using old idle computers in informatics laboratories for a cluster construction. This cluster is an alternative of utilization of machines which were not being used, linking them and obtaining a larger computational power, allocating network resources. The cluster counted on linked network computers, operational system cluster KNOPPIX, based on Debian, OpenMosis as management tool of process changing among the nodes and performance control of the system. This work’s results may help the development of researches about cluster besides of enable the use of these computers to obtain a better processing which is not offered when computers are singly used.
