Distributed Processing,
Client/Server, and Clusters
Source: Prentice-Hall Web Site
Client/Server Computing
Client machines are generally single-user
PCs or workstations that provide a highly
user-friendly interface to the end user
Each server provides a set of shared user
services to the clients
The server enables many clients to share
access to the same database and enables
the use of a high-performance computer
system to manage the database
Client/Server Computing
Involves splitting an application into tasks
and putting each task on the platform
where it can be handled most efficiently
Processing for the presentation on the
user’s machine
Data management and storage on a
server
Involves a network
Generic Client/Server
Environment
Client/Server Applications
Platforms and the operating systems of
client and server may differ
These lower-level differences are
irrelevant as long as a client and server
share the same communications protocols
and support the same applications
Client/Server Applications
Actual functions performed by the
application can be split up between client
and server
Optimize platform and network resources
Optimize the ability of users to perform
various tasks
Optimize the ability to cooperate with one
another using shared resources
Database Applications
The server is a database server
Interaction between client and server is in
the form of transactions
the client makes a database request and
receives a database response
Server is responsible for maintaining the
database

File Cache Consistency
File caches hold recently accessed file
records
Caches are consistent when they contain
exact copies for remote data
File-locking prevents simultaneous access
to a file
writing causes the server cached to be
updated
Middleware
Set of tools that provide a uniform means
and style of access to system resources
across all platforms
Enable programmers to build applications
that look and feel the same
Enable programmers to use the same
method to access data
Middleware
Use of a standard programming interface
and protocols
There is both a client and server
component to middleware
Provides uniform access to different
systems

Remote Procedure Calls
Allow programs on different machines to
interact using simple procedure call/return
semantics
Widely accepted
Standardized

among computers and operating systems
easily

Clusters
Alternative to symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP)
Group of interconnected, whole
computers working together as a unified
computing resource
illusion is one machine
system can run on its own
Clusters
Separate server
each computer is a separate server
no shared disks
need management or scheduling software
data must be constantly copied among
systems so each is current

Win2000 Cluster Server
 Formerly called Wolfpack
 Shared-nothing cluster
 Concepts
Cluster Service – Software that manages cluster-specific activity
Resource – Item to be managed
Physical: Disk drives, Network cards
Logical: Volumes, TCP/IP addresses, Applications, Databases
Online – A resource is online at a node when it is providing
service on that node
Group – A collection of resources managed as a unit
Helps manage resources, load balancing
Usually a set of resources needed for a specific application
Win2000 Cluster Server
Components
Node Manager – Maintain membership: Uses heartbeat messages to track
system
Database Manager – Maintain cluster configuration database (resources,
groups, ownership): Uses fault-tolerant transaction software
Resource Manager – Make decisions concerning resources, startup, failover
Event Processor – Connect components
Beowulf
 From NASA High Performance Computing and Communications
Project, based on commodity hardware
 Implemented as an add-on to Linux, and each node runs a copy of
Linux, with kernel extensions for global namespaces
 Examples of Beowulf system software:
Beowulf Distributed Process Space – Allow process ID space to
span machines, provide single system image, start processes on
other nodes
Beowulf Ethernet Channel Bonding – Combine multiple low-cost
links into a single logical network
Pvmsync – Provide synchronization and shared data objects in a
cluster
EnFuzion – Set of tools for parametric computing
