Performance Analysis of Commodity Server with Freeware Remote Terminal Application in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mutli-computing Environments

Abstract

The technology is bringing new changes rapidly in terms of hardware and software which leads to the increase in the computing cost. One of the prevalent challenges involved in the research endeavors of researchers is to diminish the cost involved in possession of hardware and network technologies. Open source technologies have tried to cut down costs involve at software level, but learning on the software technologies is still a challenge. Commodity hardware utilization is still an option to decrease the hardware level cost. This paper presents the study of the performance of a commodity hardware server in heterogeneous multi-computing environment. Using the commodity hardware of our university and on a client-server-based model, we have developed a system of remote terminal application on a commodity server in homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-computing environments. The nodes used in the current experimental environment are independent of system architecture.
