System Description¶
Cluster Design¶
The cluster is assumed to have one (or more) master nodes and several slave nodes (compute nodes).
- The master node runs the web server, the file server, the central database server, the email server, the server for the queuing system, and the ProCKSI server itself. It can be used as a compute node, too.
- The compute nodes run the calculations.
