组建了一套针对MCNP5并行计算的小型Windows集群,给出了相关解决方案。以GM计数管对V射线的能量响应相关计算为实例作对比计算的结果表明,用相同经费投入,该集群性能比单CPU计算机要好近5倍,其组建方式快捷,批处理的管理法使集群应用简单灵活。该方法实用、有效,能满足普通用户对计算能力的需求。
A practical small-scale PC cluster based on Windows OS for MCNP5 parallel computation was constructed. As an example, the response of GM detector to y -ray energy was calculated by the PC cluster and some other computers. The results show that performance of the PC cluster was nearly 5 times more than that of a single CPU computer of similar investment. The PC cluster is simple, and its management in batch mode is easy and flexible It shall be a practical solution for the users who request a handsome computing power.
