Abstract :
A parallel computing experimental platform is presented, which is realized based on Xen and OpenMP. Traditional parallel experimental platforms are achieved by many servers. By constructing virtual hardware based on Xen, the platform can be carried out in personal computer (PC), which cost less than one thousand dollars. The software is open source Linux based, which is apt to maintain. The proposed experimental platform is cheap and can be installed simply. The students can install the platform in their PCs, which can improve their experimental skills and be very helpful to learn parallel computing curriculum.
