The purpose of theHIVE is to demonstrate the usefulness of low cost high performance computers on NASA's earth and space science applications and to study the ability of theHIVE to fulfill the need for a high performance computing resource integrated seamlessly into the working environment of multiple personal workstations.
theHIVE is a Beowulf-class parallel computer, (e.i. a cluster of PCs running LINUX, connected by its own private LAN.) theHIVE is a cluster of 64 compute nodes, BEEs and 2 types of host or frontend nodes, the QUEEN and one or more DRONEs. The QUEEN administers theHIVE and the DRONEs allow access to theHIVE by users and data gathering facilities, such as remote sensing satelite antenas.
