<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hello Babak<br></div><div><br>In relation to software:<br><br></div>Currently, Gate officially supports the use of cluster tool, with which you can split your simulation<br>in smaller ones and then with the help of a queueing system (for instance Condor) submit each one on a cluster.<br>
Finally, use the cluster's tool merge program to merge your ROOT output files. Cluster tools is supported in all<br></div>Gate versions.<br><br></div>The other option is to use what we call ParGate which is based on MPI. In this case you<br>
</div>don't need to do anything either to your macros nor to your ROOT files. However, ParGate<br>is not currently distributed with GATE and we only provide support for Gate 6.1.<br><br><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169260713002654">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169260713002654</a><br>
<br></div><div>In both cases you need to setup your nodes with NFS for sharing data files transparently.<br><br></div><div>In relation to hardware:<br><br></div><div>You need to install a switch to which you connect all your nodes. Usually, switches work as<br>
plug-and-play devices, so it is very simple to install one. Then, configure<br>the network assigning IPs to each computer. Typical IPs for these situations are<br></div><div>192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11, etc. One of these computers must have an additional<br>
</div><div>ethernet interface to connect to the "outside". In this case you also need an fixed, real IP<br></div><div>given by your company.<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>I hope this help.<br><br><br></div><div>

Dear GATE User,</div><div>Hi</div><div>Can anyone explain me basically how can i make a simple cluster with 2 or 3 ordinary PC's for running my GATE simulation faster? which program I must install and how connect PC's together?</div>
<div>now I installed GATE6.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works good.</div><div><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif">
