Abstract
Local accounting system used by UNIX-like operating system provides the accounting information of processes that are in single host. But it is impossible for this local accounting system to record the total resource consumption data of all processes for doing the same job simultaneously. In this paper, we implement accounting system to measure and manage resource usage for MPI(Message Passing Interface) job in the clustering environment. We designed and implemented the accounting system which measure resource usage of each process runs on a cluster node and record the interconnection information of the entire set of processes across network. Also we implemented accounting system which collect the resource usage data of process in the local accounting system and generate the job-level accounting information. Finally, to evaluate the resource consumption data measured by this accounting system we compare with the data collected by local scheduler that widely used in large scale clustering environment.
