Abstract

There are many problems whose solutions set high demands on system performance. Traditionally cost-effective systems associated with the implementation of cluster systems. Cluster calculations allow using existing computer systems to build a high performance system (HPS). There are many software products that have been developed in which as node of cluster an operating system (OS) is used installed in virtual machines. In these solutions flexibility, security and isolation are achieved, but at the cost of some loss of performance. In this paper we present an approach for the implementation of the HPS, in which the nodes of the cluster are realized in host operating system (HOS), while the available computer software remains accessible via the guest operating system (GOS). In this way a HPS is realized using free hardware resource of computer systems. Our current implementation is based on the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) and QEMU environment used under management of GNU/Linux OS. However, many of our ideas are readily applicable to other VM environments.
