描述了一种新颖的设计，使用控制器的层次结构，有效地控制多用户、多道程序并行系统。这种结构允许根据不断变化的工作要求进行动态重新分区。检查了设计目标，并提出了分布式分层控制的原理。讨论了对处理器的控制。考虑了分布式分层控制的映射和负载平衡。解决了对组调度以及可用性和容错的支持。讨论了分布式分层控制在内存管理和 I/O 中的使用。<<ETX>>
A description is given of a novel design, using a hierarchy of controllers, that effectively controls a multiuser, multiprogrammed parallel system. Such a structure allows dynamic repartitioning according to changing job requirements. The design goals are examined, and the principles of distributed hierarchical control are presented. Control over processors is discussed. Mapping and load balancing with distributed hierarchical control are considered. Support for gang scheduling as well as availability and fault tolerance is addressed. The use of distributed hierarchical control in memory management and I/O is discussed.<<ETX>>
