Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a cluster server, Linux virtual server cluster, formed by various inexpensive personal computers for scientific computing. This cluster has many favorable features, including lower cost, load balancing, and dynamic scalability. Application of this cluster in the simulation of photochemistry reaction is also presented.
