4. Technical Description
Summary
=======
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 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 thousands of 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.
Ganglia is an open-source project that grew out of the University of
California, Berkeley Millennium Project which was initially funded in
large part by the National Partnership for Advanced Computational
Infrastructure (NPACI) and National Science Foundation RI Award
EIA-9802069. NPACI is funded by the National Science Foundation and
strives to advance science by creating a ubiquitous, continuous, and
pervasive national computational infrastructure: the Grid. Current
support comes from Planet Lab: an open platform for developing,
deploying, and accessing planetary-scale services.
