Misc.

• MPI Requirements The Distributed Computing Toolbox ships with version 1.0.2p1 of MPICH2. The toolbox supports any MPI with an MPICH2-compatible "mpi.h" that is built as a shared library.
   
• A Survey of Parallel MATLAB Projects: Divides projects into 4 approaches to providing parallel functionalities: Communication routines (MPI/PVM); Routines to split up work among multiple sessions; Parallel backend; Compiling into native parallel code.

• II-Linux cluster description and performance Our Linux cluster is composed of 100 nodes dual-Athlon 1.2 GHz with 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk. The head node is a quad Xeon 700 MHz with 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of RAID storage. The operating system is Red-Hat 7.2 with the 2.4.17 kernel. PBS is installed to schedule batch jobs and monitor the usage of the cluster. Parallelization is done through the Message Passing Interface (MPI) routines. The Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Sub-programs (ATLAS) has been used to create the BLAS and LAPACK library optimized for the slave nodes. The High Performance Linpack (HPL) is used to benchmark the performance of the cluster. After careful tuning of the HPL benchmark we obtain around 130 GFLOPS for the whole cluster. These performances unofficially put the cluster within the TOP500 supercomputers. Fig. 1 shows the cluster in its final configuration.
