This paper overviews the design of SANique$^{TM}$ -a shred file system for Linux cluster based on SAN environment. SANique$^{TM}$ has the capability of transferring user data from network-attached SAN disks to client applcations directly without the control of centralized file server system. The paper also presents the characteristics of each SANique$^{TM}$ subsystem: CFM(Cluster File Manager), CVM(Cluster Volume Manager), CLM(Cluster Lock Manager), CBM(Cluster Buffer Manager) and CRM(Cluster Recovery Manager). Under the SANique$^{TM}$ design layout, then, the syndrome of '||'&'||'quot;split-brain'||'&'||'quot; in shared file system environments is described and defined. The work first generalizes and illustrates possible situations in each of which a shared file system environment may split into two or more pieces of separate brain. Finally, the work describes the SANique$^{TM}$ approach to the given "split-brain"problem using SAN disk named "split-brain" and develops the overall recovery procedure of shared file systems.

As the amount of information to be processed by computers has recently been increased, there has been cluster computing systems developed by connecting PCs and workstations using high-speed networks. hs a result, the studies on a cluster-based DBMS have been done with a wide range and it is necessary to develop a cluster manager for monitoring and managing cluster-based DBMSs. But, a cluster manager for efficiently managing cluster-based DBMSs has been studied in a first step. In this paper, we design and implement a high-availability cluster manager for a cluster-based DBMS. It monitors the status of nodes in cluster systems as well as the status of DBMS instances in a node, by using a graphic user interface (GUI). Our cluster manager supports the high-availability for a cluster-based DBMS by perceiving errors and recovering them, based on the monitored information on the status of a server.

This paper describes the design overview of cluster file system $SANique^{TM}$ based on SAN(Storage Area Network) environment. The design issues and problems of the conventional global buffer manager are also illustrated under a large set of clustered computing hosts. We propose the efficient global buffer management method that provides the more scalability and availability. In our proposed global buffer management method, we reuse the maintained list of lock information from our cluster lock manager. The global buffer manger can easily find and determine the location of requested data block cache based on that lock information. We present the pseudo code of the global buffer manager and illustration of global cache operation in cluster environment.

The NAVER is based on a cluster of low-cost personal computers. The goal of NAVER is to provide flexible, extensible, scalable and re-configurable framework for the diverse virtual environments especially for Gamsung research experiments. Personal computers are divided into three servers are according to their specific functions: Render Server, Device Server and Control Server. While Device Server contains external modules requiring event-based communication for the integration, Control Server contains external modules requiring synchronous communication every frame. And, the Render Server consists of 5 managers: Scenario Manager, Event Manger, Command Manager, Interaction Manager and Sync Manager. In this paper, we discuss NAVER as effective distributed system and its application to Gamsung experiment.

Inexpensive high performance computer systems combined with high speed networks and machine independent communication libraries have made cluster computing a viable option for parallel applications. In a heterogeneous cluster environment, efficient resource management is critically important since the computing power of the individual computer system is a significant performance factor when executing applications in parallel. This paper presents a dynamic task manager, called DWM (dynamic work manager). It makes a heterogeneous cluster system fully utilize the different computing power of its individual computer system. We measure the performance of DWM in a heterogeneous cluster environment with several kernel-level benchmark programs and their programming complexity quantitatively. From the experiments, we found that DWM provides competitive performance with a notable reduction in programming effort.

Many emerging mobile ad-hoc network application communications are group-oriented. Multicast supports group-oriented applications efficiently, particularly in a mobile environment that has a limited bandwidth and limited power. Energy effectiveness along with safety are 2 key problem in MANET design. Within this paper, MANET is presented with a stable, energy-efficient clustering technique. In this proposed work advanced clustering in the networks with ticket ID cluster manager (TID-CMGR) has formed in MANET. The proposed routing scheme makes secure networking the shortest route possible. In this article, we propose a Cluster manager approach based on TICKET-ID to address energy consumption issues and reduce CH workload. TID-CMGR includes two mechanism including ticket ID controller, ticketing pool, route planning and other components. The CA (cluster agent) shall control and supervise the functions of nodes and inform to TID-CMGR. The CH conducts and transfers packets to the network nodes. As the CH energy level is depleted, CA elects the corresponding node with elevated energy values, and all new and old operations are simultaneously stored by CA at this time. A simulation trial for 20 to 100 nodes was performed to show the proposed scheme performance. The suggested approach is used to do experimental work using the NS- simulator. TIDCMGR is compared with TID BRM and PSO to calculate the utility of the work proposed. The assessment shows that the proposed TICKET-ID scheme achieves 90 percent more than other current systems.

With rapid growth in the amount of data transferred on the Internet, traditional storage systems have reached the limits of their capacity and performance. SAN (Storage Area Network), which connects hosts to disk with the Fibre Channel switches, provides one of the powerful solutions to scale the data storage and servers. In this environment, the maintenance of data consistency among hosts is an important issue because multiple hosts share the files on disks attached to the SAN. To preserve data consistency, each host can execute the disk I/O whenever disk read and write operations are requested. However, frequent disk I/O requests cause the deterioration of the overall performance of a SAN cluster. In this paper, we introduce a SANtopia global buffer manager to improve the performance of a SAN cluster reducing the number of disk I/Os. We describe the design and algorithms of the SANtopia global buffer manager, which provides a buffer cache sharing mechanism among the hosts in the SAN cluster. Micro-benchmark results to measure the performance of block I/O operations show that the global buffer manager achieves speed-up by the factor of 1.8-12.8 compared with the existing method using disk I/O operations. Also, File system micro-benchmark results show that SANtopia file system with the global buffer manager improves performance by the factor of 1.06 in case of directories and 1.14 in case of files compared with the file system without a global buffer manager.

In this paper, through the implementation of the application service, we evaluated the feasibility and availability of the staged application service platform, which is based on the sharing of the PVM cluster. Application service platform provides three managers for dividing the request processing steps into two stages, such as a request processing stage and a service providing stage. Three managers and its relation to the divided stages are as follows, service manager and load manager to distribute the request in front-end server for a request processing stage, job manager in clustered(back-end) servers for a service providing stage. The experiment shows that the staged application service platform provides more stable and scalable characteristics and better performance improvement on the dynamic load changes than the single server system. And also it shows that real application service system can be implemented easily without modification of the proposed service platform.

Sanankerto is one of pilot projects for tourism villages in Indonesia due to its natural tourism potential with a 24-ha bamboo forest located in Boon Pring Andeman area. However, the distribution of existing bamboo has never been identified or mapped. Thus, the mana gement is facing difficulty in planning and developing tourism potential as well as spatial management in the area. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify and analyze the structure of bamboo vegetation in the Boon Pring Tourism village an d to perform vegetation mapping. The type of research was descriptive exploratory with a cluster sampling technique (i.e., a two-stage cluster) covering an area of ± 10 ha. Bamboo vegetation analysis was performed by calculating diversity index (H'), evenness index (E), and Species Richness index (R). Data were collected through observation and interviews with local people and the manager to determine zonation division. Mapping of bamboo vegetation based on zoning was processed into thematic maps using ArcG is 10.3. Micro climatic factors were measured with three replications for each sub -cluster. Data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Nine species of bamboo identified. Diversity, evenness, and species richness indices differed at each location. Activities of local communities, tourists, and manager determined the presence, number, and distribution of bamboo species. These bamboo distribution maps in three zoning (utilization, buffer, and core) can be used by manager for planning and developing natural tourism potential.

현재까지 대부분의 클러스터들은 웹 서비스를 지원하지 않고 있다. 하지만 웹 서비스를 사용하면 서비스 사이의 상호 의존성을 최소한으로 줄일 수 있다 그리고 프로토콜에 얽매이지 않기 때문에 코드 재활용 성 및 확장성이 높아진다는 장정이 있다. 또한 서비스간에는 개발 언어에 상관없이 서비스 개발이 가능하며 이렇게 개발된 서비스간의 통합 역시 용이하기 때문에 클러스터를 구축하는 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 더욱이 클러스터를 윈도우 환경으로 구축할 경우에는 다양한 GUI 도구들과 않은 어플리케이션을 사용할 수 있어서 리눅스를 기반으로 클러스터를 구축할 때 보다 좀 더 쉽게 클러스터를 구축할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 윈도우 환경의 컴퓨터들을 서로 연결하여 클러스터를 만들고 웹 서비스를 통하여 작업을 스케쥴링할 수 있는 클러스터 작업 스케쥴러를 설계하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 설계한 클러스터 작업 스케쥴러는 크게 SchedulingClient ClusterJobScheduler와 ResourceManager 3 부분으로 나누어진다. SchedulingClient는 사용자의 작업 정보를 입력받는 사용자용 어플리케이션이고 ClusterJobScheduler는 사용자의 작업 정보를 큐에 저장하고, 스궤쥴링하며, 작업의 결과를 사용자에게 전달하는 웹 서비스 어플리케이션이다. 그리고 ResourceManager는 클러스터를 구성하는 컴퓨터를 관리하는 기능을 한다.
