Abstract
In this paper we propose method for estimating and analysis measurements of delays in the computational cluster interconnection subsystem. Delays are combined into the set of pairs (source, destination). We have measurements of delays extracted by network_test2 utility from interconnections of following supercomputers: BlueGene/P, Lomonosov-1, Lomonosov-2 (Lomonosov MSU) and Jurope (Julich). We have clustered pairs of delays by DBscan and Divisive algorithms. Results of clusterisation revealed that DBScan is more accurate algorithm then divisive and allows to extract clusters, which correspond to the actual features in the supercomputer interconnections. Clusters gather near the same components of supercomputer network infrastructure. Gained clusters were visualized in 2-D by special tool, developed by authors.
