Introduction

• A display wall system are increasingly important
  for applications MeshTV, Movie player .
• the size of display wall is almost gt10 time of
  typical desktop displays.
• The computation power must be enhauced in order
  to support the large amount of calculation

3
Introduction

• a system of parallel computing is considered to
  implement this application.
• This project is about to implement the display
  wall (3x3,9 monitors) on the Super abacus
  parallel computing system.

4

• Diagram of the structure of this project

5
Practical advantage Vs Academic advantage

• Practical advantage ?a large scale display
  area ?display a high-resolution image or
  video ?for any conform or talk to demonstrate
  at a large the therkfjdk

6
Practical advantage Vs Academic advantage

• Academic advantage ?study parallel computing
  architecture ?study software development in PC
  cluster ?a good chance to use this powerful
  computing resources

7
Background Theory

• Develop a program to implement parallel display
  on a matrix of monitor
• communication between PC clusterand
  server?software library MPI (Message Passing
  Interface) ?for send different part of data

8
Background Theory

• (for example , send data part of a image to 9
  clusters ,every clusters processor response to
  display a part of image on its monitor)
• Method for remote display a image data at its
  own monitor by main server . ?not yet confirm
  ,just searching

9
Progress

• Linux installation and set up?RetHat 6.2
• Familiar with Linux OS
• Study programming environment? Linux shell using
  C
• Write a program on X-window interface to display
  a image

10
Progress

• Study cluster program? install MPI library?
  study MPI program
• Search information about remote display at
  different clusters (not yet complete , continue)

11
Technical problem

• There are several technical problem necessary to
  be solved (until now) ? remote control cluster
  display( quite a serious problem , otherwise
  cant continue to develop another part of
  program)? GUI interfaceX-Window library is
  necessary to be includedto develop ie. Display a
  image , windows environment , menu bar etc

12
Technical problem

• How to calculate which part of image send to
  different cluster .
• How to send image data to cluster by using MPI

13
Conclusion Future development

• This project is quite different from others
  project then before . ?The project or assignment
  can be developed at anywhere .?This project
  must develop inside the lab
• The technical problem must be solved in order to
  implement this project .

14
Conclusion Future development

• There is some future planning ? Sem A
  display a still image on the display wall? Sem
  B Add a new application on the display wall
  Mpeg 2 display
