PEACE - A Software Backplane for Parallel Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
Peace is the parallel operating system developed for Suprenum. Originally designed as object-based operating system relying on a microker-nel, in the meantime an evolutionary change toward object orientation took place. Based on a kernel family, this new generation Peace system was designed to act as \software backplane" for parallel computing. The rationale for this metamorphosis is presented, reeecting lessons learned from the Suprenum development. Basic concepts and structure of Peace are shown, discussing the suitability for distributed memory parallel machines .

Towards Self-Organizing Distributed Computing Frameworks: The H2O Approach
A novel component-based, service-oriented framework for distributed metacomputing is described. Adopting a provider-centric view of resource sharing, this framework emphasizes lightweight software infrastructures that maintain minimal state, and interface to current and emerging distributed computing standards. In this model, resource owners host a software backplane onto which owners, clients,...
متن کاملInterface Design of VHDL Simulation for Hardware-Software Cosimulation
To perform cosimulation, an interface design of VHDL simulation is needed. This interface is responsible for communicating packets between any VHDL simulator and the cosimulation backplane, PeaCE, which is a Ptolemy extension as codesign environment. The interface also manages the simulation for correct timed cosimulation. By the automatic interface generation mechanism, the interface is genera...
متن کاملDistributed Network Simulations Using the Dynamic Simulation Backplane
We present an approach for creating distributed, component-based, simulations of communication networks by interconnecting models of sub-networks drawn from different network simulation packages. This approach supports rapid construction of simulations for large networks by reusing existing models and software, and fast execution using parallel discrete event simulation techniques. A dynamic si...

A reconfigurable intelligent optical backplane architecture for parallel computing and communications is described. The backplane consists of a large number of reconfigurable optical channels organized in a ring with relatively simple point-to-point optical interconnections between neighboring smart-pixel arrays. The intelligent backplane can implement (l) dynamically reconfigurable connections...
