Abstract:

High-performance computing is an effective way for large-scale parallel computing. This paper introduces how to build a high：performance cluster and  describes the cluster toolkit： Rocks. And then the paper analyses the installation mechanism,features,management of Rocks,uses Rocks to build a specifi ic Linux-based high-performance cluster platform, and implements the application of the quantum chemistry software Gaussian on the platform. Thus the sy   stem performance of Rocks is further tested.

Key words: igh-performance clustering, Rocks, Roll
