A cluster of web servers, for example, is transparent to an end-user and simply appears as a single web server. And enFuzion, by TurboLinux, is the software development tool for utilizing the power of cluster computing. Unlike other tools for development of parallel programs, enFuzion requires no programming and no changes to applications.
Parametric executions require that the same application is executed numerous times.
Clustered servers produce a lot of jobs, often exceeding thousands, which makes parametric executions ideally suited to run on large computing clusters. To perform parametric executions, the user simply specifies input parameters and commands to be executed. Jobs can be distributed over a local area network or over the Internet. This opens up new possibilities in using computer power. For example, a 10 hour task can be computed in 1 hour on ten computers, a one month task can be computed in a day on 30 computers, a one year task can be computed over a weekend on 150 computers.
