Abstract

Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) is a software that separates the physical elements in the data center from how to control them. It is convenient to share a pool of backup servers that are ready to take over any other failed server´s role. In this paper we integrate Matlab Distributed Computing Server (MDCS) with AIM to build a reliable, efficient platform for scientific computations. The motivation to use AIM as the resource management center for MDCS is to provide a fault-tolerant computation platform. We test the speedup rate of virtual worker cluster and compare with physical worker cluster using physical client and virtual client. Our experiment show that the performance of virtual worker cluster is about 82% of the physical worker cluster´s performance.
