Abstract
Clusters became the de-facto standard in modern high-performance computing. At present it is rather often when a single organization has a few clusters and wants to connect them into a multicluster to benefit from reduced task waiting time and increased total available processing power. This paper studies one of possible approaches to the problem of uniting the computing resources which addresses exactly the case of owning clusters by a single proprietor. Such approach was implemented in Metacluster system of Nizhni Novgorod State University, Russia. Current state of Metacluster was reviewed. Key features, component-based architecture and main functions implementation details were described.
