ANALISIS UNJUK KERJA KOMPUTASI DISTRIBUTED SHARED MEMORY PADA SISTEM CLUSTER KOMPUTER PERSONAL

Abstract: Parallel  processing  systems  that  support  the  shared  memory  abstraction  are  becoming widely accepted in many areas of computing. The shared memory or single system image of address  space  abstraction  provides  several  advantages  over  the  message  passing abstraction. Distributed shared memory or DSM is a memory configuration system that can be  used  to  provide  a  coherent  shared  address  space  for  a  workstation  clusters  or  loosely coupled systems which have no support for shared memory in hardware.The purpose of this paper  is  to  describe  issues  related  to  the  implementation  of  DSM  in  Personal  Computer Cluster  system.  The  system  is  developed  under  Linux  operating  system  and  cluster middleware Parallel Virtual Machine [PVM]. In this research, an object-based Distributed Shared  Memory  (DSM)  system  called  Adsmith  is  used  on  the  top  of  PVM.  An  application program for A Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is tested using different scenarios to get average execution time and speedup of the computation. Each scenario represents a different number of node cluster involved for computation.  The results show that programs developed with  Adsmith  can  achieve  better  performance  comparable  to  that  developed  with  PVM  in high computation environment.
