We propose to develop and empirically evaluate the software tools,analysis techniques,and compileroptimizations necessary to generate automatically a customized Linux image,and to affect the necessary ap-plication transformations that use it.Moreover,we will quantify the success of our techniques using scienti .capplications and software prototypes executing on commodity cluster platforms.We will employ parallel and.oating-point intensive codes as well as scientic database programs.We will focus on execution platformsviable at the high-end .clusters of SMP,IA32 and IA64 systems .the latter allowing us to investigaterelevance to NSF's current TeraGrid [65 ]effort.The result,we believe,will be a software system that auto-matically enables high-performance scientic computing on commodity systems through application-specificcustomization and dynamic adaptation of a low-cost,popular,and familiar Linux operating system.

我们建议开发和经验评估软件工具、分析技术和编译器优化，以自动生成定制的Linux映像，并影响使用它的必要应用程序转换。此外，我们将使用在商业集群平台上执行的科学应用程序和软件原型来量化我们技术的成功。我们将使用平行和。燕麦点密集代码以及科学数据库程序。我们将专注于在高端市场可行的执行平台。SMP、IA32和IA64系统集群。后者允许我们调查与NSF当前TeraGrid[65]工作的相关性。我们相信，其结果将是一个软件系统，通过特定于应用程序的定制和对低成本、流行和熟悉的Linux操作系统的动态适应，在商品系统上自动实现高性能的科学计算。
