Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance
|
||
|
|
computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical
|
||
|
|
design targeted at federations of clusters. It relies on a multicast-based
|
||
|
|
listen/announce protocol to monitor state within clusters and uses a tree of
|
||
|
|
point-to-point connections amongst representative cluster nodes to federate
|
||
|
|
clusters and aggregate their state. It leverages widely used technologies such
|
||
|
|
as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and
|
||
|
|
RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data
|
||
|
|
structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high
|
||
|
|
concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set
|
||
|
|
of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on
|
||
|
|
over 500 clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across
|
||
|
|
university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with
|
||
|
|
2000 nodes.
