On grid environments, clusters which connects many PCs and workstations in a network is a typical computation resources. In OmniRPC, we can treat a cluster as a remote host. We can run a remote executable module on each node in the cluster and execute in parallel so that we can achieve good performance.
When using clusters, we can access at least one computer in a cluster form the client host. We label this computer as the cluster server host and label the computers in the cluster without a cluster server host as the cluster node host.
Client host is jones.tsukuba.ac.jp .
Cluster server host is hpc-serv.hpcc.jp. So hpc1, hpc2 and hpc3 are connected to the cluster server host as cluster node hosts.
Both the cluster server host and cluster node hosts share the same file system.
Client host can connect directly to the cluster server host and all of the cluster nodes. All port are not limited.
The last item in the list assumes that the client host and cluster are in same network.
