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自动生成定制的Linux映像所必需的，并影响使用它的必要应用程序转换。此外，我们将使用在商品集群平台上执行的scienti .capplications和软件原型来量化我们的技术的成功。我们将使用并行和.oating-点密集型代码以及科学的数据库程序。我们将集中在执行平台可行的高端。集群的SMP，IA 32和IA 64系统。后者使我们能够调查的相关性，美国国家科学基金会目前的TeraGrid [65 ]的努力。结果，我们相信，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、流行且熟悉的Linux操作系统的动态适应，自动在商用系统上实现高性能科学计算。
