Goals
Develop infrastructure and strategies for automated parallel resource management.
- Today, application programmers must explicitly manage these resources. We
address scaling issues and porting issues by delegating resource management tasks
to a sophisticated parallel OS.
- "Managing resources" includes balancing CPU time, network utilization,
and memory usage across the entire machine.
Develop a set of services to enhance the OS to improve its ability to support
systems with very large numbers of processors.
- We will improve operating system awareness of the requirements of parallel
applications.
- We will enhance operating system support for parallel execution by providing
coordinated scheduling and improved management services for very large machines.
