CAREER: Software Tools to Synthesize Multiple Packages on Parallel or Distributed Architectures

该项目将开发能够支持需要一组异构并行或分布式模块的用户应用程序的软件架构。 主要的推动力是开发一套工具和技术，以支持设计用于链接并行包的接口的生成。 为了建立一个通用的方法，有必要开发一个测试平台，利用许多类型的包，必须集成。 该项目将开发一个测试平台，作为医学信息学项目和计算航空航天项目的基础。 该试验平台的分布式软件包将包括并行数据库、计算机化病历、高性能Fortran程序、统计软件包以及用并行C++类库（如LAPACK ++和CHAOS ++）开发的程序。本研究的最终目标是开发一个框架，提供有效的集成异构，并行/分布式程序模块。

This project will develop software architectures capable of supporting user applications requiring a heterogeneous set of parallel or distributed modules. The major thrust is to develop a set of tools and techniques to support the generation of interfaces designed to link parallelized packages. In order to establish a general methodology, it is necessary to develop a testbed that utilizes many of the types of packages that must be integrated. The project will develop a testbed that will act as the substrate for a medical informatics project and a project in computational aerospace. The distributed packages in this testbed will include parallel databases, computerized medical records, High Performance Fortran programs, statistical package, and programs developed with parallel C++ class libraries such as LAPACK ++ and CHAOS ++. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a framework that provides efficient integration of heterogeneous, parallel/distributed program modules.
