Parallel programming is not easy, but one tool you can use to help parallelize your application is OpenMP. Most compilers are compatible with OpenMP and allow you to parallelize your code on a single node.
Creating a virtual machine manually is straightforward but too time consuming if you regularly need to set up many virtual machines. The BoxGrinder and VMBuilder programs let you automate this process.
Even as the tech world works to figure out just what to do with the potential of cloud computing and big data, along comes a new bit of technology fueled by open source software: software-defined networks.
Software-Defined Networks
Fans of Formula racing enjoy the thrill of high-speed lead changes; however, passing doesn't happen very often because the wake of the lead car affects the performance of the trailing car, causing it to lose some of its “downforce.” Decreased downforce leads to decreased road grip; with less grip, the driver has less control and fewer opportunities to pass. The engineers at Swift Engineering, designers of Formula racecars, are studying the problem with unsteady state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the help of a Cray XE6™ supercomputer, so they can build cars that don’t create grip-reducing wakes.
