Abstract: In the Image Processing Research Laboratory (INTI-Lab) of the Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades, the permission to use the embedded systems laboratory was obtained. INTI-Lab researchers will use this laboratory to do different research related to the processing of large scale videos, climate predictions, climate change research, physical simulations, among others. This type of projects, demand a high complexity in their processes, carried out in ordinary computers that result in an unfavorable time for the researcher. For this reason, one opted for the implementation of a high-performance cluster architecture that is a set of computers interconnected to a local network. This set of computers tries to give a unique behavior to solve complex problems using parallel computing techniques. The intention is to reduce the time directly proportional to the number of machines, giving a similarity of having a low-cost supercomputer. Different performance tests were performed scaling from 1 to 28 computers to measure time reduction. The results will show if it is feasible to use the architecture in future projects that demand processes of high scientific complexity.
