High performance calculation became the field of my research in 2000. Ph.D. thesis and master degree thesis as well were devoted to this field.

Theme of Ph.D. thesis is "Technique of parallel programs debugging on multi-computers (algorithms and debugger developing)". Thesis (in Russian).

Theme of master degree thesis is "Cluster technologies for molecular biology and genetic. Research and application" Thesis (in Russian).

Obtained results were presented and published in proceedings of the following conferences: "Student in scientific and technical progress" (Novosibirsk, 2001), International conference "TELEMATIKA" (St.Pitersburg, 2001), Wide-Russian conference "TELEMATIKA" (St.Pitersburg, 2003), Workshop on "High performance calculations on clusters and cluster systems" (Nizhny Novgorod, 2002, 2003), Workshop "High performance calculations on clusters" (Krasnoyarsk, 2001, 2002).

I'd like to highlight the following achievements in this field:

• Linux cluster of 24 nodes were launched in Novosibirsk State University.

• Two websites were developed for attracting new users to work on the cluster and helping current users. These sites are not supported now because of financing stopped.

• More then a dozen programs were paralleled and adopted for the cluster architecture (tomography, genetic, numerical analysis problems, etc.)

• Prototype of parallel program debugger was developed. The debugger was designed for debugging behavior of program. Read more

• It was necessary to provide convenient way for cluster configuring and support. First, network boot of nodes was implemented with root file system (RFS) on master node. We used ClusterNFS to share the same directory for different nodes. Later RFS was moved on RAM disks of nodes.

• Obtained experience on network boot of NSU Linux cluster was described in the paper (in Russian).
