During the operation (such as two-division operation), through the control of the distributed load balancing system, two nodes (Nodes) can access the same storage system and system together, and can properly protect all kinds of data during the operation of the cluster computer. And increase node processing speed. Background of the Invention: With the advancement of semiconductor process technology and integrated circuit design, personal electronics have been widely used in personal, family, academic research, Xiao industry, and industry. On the other hand, with the vigorous development of the Internet, a large amount of information continues to flow within the borders, especially in the fields of e-commerce and academic research. The processing and flow of information is more frequent and heavy, Stable support and operation with related equipment and equipment that need to handle high-level feeders with high monthly power and high reliability. However, the price of high-end servers with powerful processing capabilities is not cheap, and it is not in line with the economic benefits of enterprises. Because the processors for personal computers currently have a certain degree of processing power and reliability, and through the use of ultra-high-speed network connections (such as networks with Gigabit transmission speed, it is even more suitable for A-fibre channels and optical fibers. The network equipment is connected to the network 2), and the data transmission speed between the computer and the computer can be parallelized and distributed computing technology can be used to connect multiple computers: a network connection to form a cluster Computer, providing high-performance calculations and this paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X 297 Gongchu)… ·: ”...... • Installation .........

However, the high-end feeder group The price is very expensive. However, with the advancement of semiconductor manufacturing, integrated circuit design and communication network technology, ordinary personal computers have reliable processing capabilities. The speed of network communication has also increased rapidly. A cluster of computers constructed with a network connection can provide working capabilities close to high-end feeder groups, but The maintenance or expansion cost is cheaper than the high-end temple server group, so another implementation is provided outside the server group. In the cluster computer, each node has a dedicated node storage device or node storage network.

In addition, since the front-end feeding server H 370 is only responsible for giving computing tasks to the server 34 for load balancing, it is not required to perform load balancing. So when the front-end feeder 370 stops operating due to an unknown attack or failure, the feeder with a distributed load balancing system of $ 34 () can still hold and manage each of the internals of the cluster computer 300 Devices and nodes continue to perform load balancing and other tasks on node 32, so the operation of node 32 is not affected. Moreover, because the cluster computer of the present invention uses a central storage system ... The control of the program, the node 32 has access to the central storage system, and the system 330 accesses the data required for the calculation or the generated = operation results are not affected by external influences.

Therefore, please read the notes on the back before writing and writing. The server 34 does not need to constantly ask the node 32 for the progress of the operation, and it does not need to ask the node for the results of different tasks. The node 32 is able to work with all the resources to improve the efficiency of the task, so The processing performance of the node 320 cluster computer 300 will also be followed by Ohira Hirata. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is related to a thousand female desires, and θ is not a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 4, the cluster computer 300 of the present invention uses a network connection device (such as a switch, etc.) 35 to connect multiple nodes 32 simultaneously, and two (or more than two) are used for load balancing and other tasks. Two (or more than two) feeders are connected to the front-end server 37 of the Internet 38 and the medium and storage systems 330 to form a local network 39, of which each node 320 may be composed of one or more The virgin ware and the memory module are connected to each other in a manner of sharing a common bus.

Description of the invention () = Storage equipment (or node storage system), so the cost is reduced when the node 32 is extended. The kernel will not reduce the working efficiency of the node 32, and because the cluster computer 300 uses a centralized central storage system 33, and Non-knowledge cluster computers: Based on the principle of decentralized node storage devices, the larger the storage device's capacity, the cheaper the cost of the parent storage unit. It can be known that the storage cost of the central storage system 3 3 0 is cheaper. And can improve the use of dedicated node storage equipment for node 32 (or the problem of poor utilization rate of node storage network financial reserve.) Cheng Zi ° Furthermore, due to the centralized central storage system, system 330, cluster猓 Architecture of computer 300 猓 猓 ^ ^ Pro-electricity 9 /, the structure of the application and operating platform is also in β, which can improve the speed of execution. The data and data processing and storage greatly increase the performance of maintenance personnel during maintenance and backup, and also improve Data integration, uniformity, and security. Clustering: The advantage is to provide a decentralized load-balancing system with a remote connection. "The cluster computer of the present invention is responsible for computing task delegation and = connected front-end feeders, responsible for computing The task of load distribution and load balancing is based on the load balancing test, #, '^ ^ ^ ° P., and the central storage system, so when externally connected server balancers, nodes, and load balancers in the cluster computer The calculations performed by the computer can save the operation of the storage system and other equipment, so the cluster central storage system is also unaffected by the continuous operation, and at the same time, all the nodes stored in the storage access server are lost and lost. Moreover, due to the calculation Therefore, the processing power of the “one-point health storage system, nodes can be centralized resource processing” has been improved, and the calculation speed can be accelerated. : (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Order · 15 565801 A7 B7 V.
