...The Journey to Radiology I have never been one to be called “graceful.” In the first grade, I had dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, so I was enrolled in dance classes. As much as I tried to channel my inner grace, I could not hide my clumsy ways. On one particularly rainy day, my ballet slippers were wet, and I slipped and fell on my right arm, causing it to break. I was taken to the doctor, who put a bright orange cast going from my wrist up to my shoulder. The whole experience of that day is a foggy memory; however, I remember distinctly how fascinated I was by the x-rays taken of my arm, and the machine’s ability to look inside of me. As I entered middle school, I developed a love for soccer. During a game, the ball was kicked high in the air, and an opponent and I collided trying to gain back its control. Unfortunately, the only thing I gained that day was my second broken arm. I was taken to the hospital and examined, again getting x-rays taken to determine the location of the break. As the doctor held up the x-ray to the light, a thousand questions came to my mind. “What bone is that?” “Where is the break?” “Why is the bone showing in the picture, but not the skin?” There were so many things I wanted to know; questions that I didn’t know how to ask at such a young age with my first broken arm. The doctors were all very nice, however, their answers might as well have been in French, because I had no idea what their anatomical lingo meant. At that time, I had no cares...

...Practical 1 Practical 1.1 : Basic of Cluster Computing 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background study Parallel computing has seen many changes since the days of the highly expensive and proprietary super computers. Changes and improvements in performance have also been seen in the area of mainframe computing for many environments. But these compute environments may not be the most cost effective and flexible solution for a problem. Over the past decade, cluster technologies have been developed that allow multiple low cost computers to work in a coordinated fashion to process applications. The economics, performance and flexibility of compute clusters makes cluster computing an attractive alternative to centralized computing models and the attendant to cost, inflexibility, and scalability issues inherent to these models. Many enterprises are now looking at clusters of high-performance, low cost computers to provide increased application performance, high availability, and ease of scaling within the data center. Interest in and deployment of computer clusters has largely been driven by the increase in the performance of off-the-shelf commodity computers, high-speed, low-latency network switches and the maturity of the software components. Application performance continues to be of significant concern for various entities including governments, military, education, scientific and now enterprise organizations. This document provides a review of cluster computing, the various types...
