Abstract
We implemented two fast PC clusters using fast PCs and high speed network. First. we built the first generation of 16 PC cluster and have used it for real-time operation at Cheju Regional Meteorological Office. Next, we built the second generation of 16PC with dual CUs cluster which was efficiently improved based on performance analysis of the first generation of cluster. In this research we also analyzed performance of two different clusters, which have different CPUs and communication devices using the parallel model MM5 which has been used for the real-time weather forecasting.
