What is HPC???
HPC stands for high performance computing and to get most efficient result set for solving engineering tasks, HPC is used. HPC term is normally used to represent teraflop 10 ^12 (10 power 12) and Super computer also operate at this level of speed. These types of deployment are needed normally in calculating the complex operations at military, bio-informatics and research environments. So far so good, now come to our main topic of discussion HPC Monitoring Tools. Always Open Source market is there to help you in these situations Ganglia, High Performance Computing Monitoring tool used to monitor clustering and grid computing. It has two parts Gmond and Gmetad
Many times a situation arises to you that you need to identify the Chipset details of your machine, Whether it may be Intel or AMD board etc..
