摘要: 以目前而言,對於IC設計公司內的工作站、儲存設備、以及伺服器的使用率都不高,甚至於軟體EDA License的使用效率也很低。由於這些企業網路不同形式的資源,採購建置成本極高,若能整合在一起,做更妥善有效的運用,就能節省成本,並提高工作效率。因此如何管理這些重要的網路資源,成為IC設計公司提昇競爭力的重要課題。
因此本研究將藉由Sun Grid Engine架構一個資源分配模式,整合網路資源,建立一套資源分配的系統與規則。本研究並以IC設計公司(Design House)為例,導入Sun Grid Engine的技術,藉由網格運算技術,提供使用者負載共用(Load Sharing)和批次排程(Batch Scheduling)、整合網路上的軟硬體資源,使其在使用上猶如使用單一工作站般單純,充分運用系統資源,在有限的資源狀態下,提高工作效率。
本研究提出一套系統資源的管理模式與架構,整合IC設計公司中的網路資源,透過資源分配的系統與規則,建立資源分配模式,將這些網路軟硬體資源,全交由Sun Grid Engine系統統籌管理,做最有效充分的運用,藉由運算資源管理與排程管理,安排最適當軟硬體資源提供運算服務,在最短時間完成使用者需求。
At present, the utilization of workstation, storage, and server in an IC design house is not frequent, even the EDA license isn’t, either. If these various resources on the intranet can be integrated and effectively operated, the working efficiency will be enhanced. Therefore, how to manage these critical resources on the network is a major task to enhance the competition of an IC design house.
In this research, the Sun Grid Engine structuring a model of resource distribution can integrate the resources on the intranet to build a set of system and rule about resource distribution. Taken the IC design house as an example, a user can use the technology of the Sun Grid Engine for load sharing, batch scheduling, as well as integration of resources of software / hardware on the intranet like a single workstation. Therefore, the working efficiency will be enhanced under limited resources because of complete utilization of system resources.
The conclusion in this research provides a set of model and structure for management of system resources to integrate resources on the intranet in an IC design house. A resource distribution model can be established by the system and rule of resource distribution. According to the adequate management of computing resources as well as scheduling, the corresponding hardware and software can provide the computing service.
