The High Performance Computing Environment (HPCE) is set up to cater to the ever increasing demand, for supercomputing facilities, of researchers at IIT Madras.


a.SMP system is a computer that contains multiple processors, shares the same memory and is managed by one operating system. These SMP systems are normally used for computing jobs that require large amount of memory.

b.Cluster Computing on the other hand is a group of systems (nodes) linked together through some sort of interconnect and are used for parallel processing for scientific applications. Typical users of Clusters will break their compute job into pieces, distribute the pieces across many nodes on the cluster and accumulate the results in the end.

c.Grid Computing focuses on maximizing the use of processor resources of various computers (possibly throughout a large geographical area). Each of these computers is running a software client that allows access to system and the processor to be used when the computer is powered on and no one is using it. This is a very efficient in that grid software can take advantage of computer processors of a variety of platforms and system configurations.
