REDBLUE: UM CLUSTER PARA SIMULAÇÕES COMPUTACIONAIS

Abstract

Computational simulations are widely used in scientific research. However, they may require a lot of computational resources. This can be solved by distributing the application between multiple computers. In this way, this work presents the RedBlue platform that allows users with less knowledge in distributed programming to adopt this strategy in computer labs. The platform uses common computers as clusters. To demonstrate the feasibility of the platform, tests were performed with 60 machines, and it was possible to reduce the execution time by 98% for a neural network and 99.3% for a simple genetic algorithm.
