Features: This book provides a detailed explanation of the network functions required for microcomputer clusters and outlines the complete process and operational steps for setting up microcomputer clusters, as well as debugging and testing techniques. Even those who have not studied Linux can learn the knowledge and skills needed to build microcomputer clusters through this book. With just two microcomputers equipped with network cards and a single Ethernet cable, readers can follow the book step by step to practice building microcomputer clusters. A microcomputer cluster is a parallel computer that connects microcomputers via a network and uses Linux system software. This book explains in detail the network functions required for microcomputer clusters and outlines the complete process and operational steps for setting up microcomputer clusters, as well as debugging and testing techniques. Even those who have not studied Linux can learn the knowledge and skills needed to build microcomputer clusters through this book. With just two microcomputers equipped with network cards and a single Ethernet cable, readers can follow the book step by step to practice building microcomputer clusters. Additionally, the book covers more advanced topics such as microcomputer cluster management, network wake-up, network booting, network card bonding, and task queuing, providing reference material for readers preparing to or already building large-scale microcomputer clusters. This book is suitable for researchers and engineering technicians using parallel computers for scientific and engineering computations, as well as Linux enthusiasts and hobbyists who wish to build and manage microcomputer clusters. It can also serve as a textbook for "Linux Network Applications" courses in universities, vocational colleges, and related training programs.
