MYRTUS: Multi-layer 360° dYnamic orchestrion and interopeRable design environmenT for compute-continUum Systems

“计算连续系统的多层360°动态编排和互操作设计规范（MYRTUS）”项目旨在提供技术，使CPS向生活维度发展，拥抱TransContinuum倡议的技术原则，其中“边缘，雾和云计算平台正在被拉近到一个无缝的执行环境中”和“编程必须重新发明，使用语言和工具来编排协作分布式和分散式组件，以及通过涵盖功能和非功能属性的接口合同增强的组件。MYRTUS采用不同的技术来设计和运营复杂、分布式和异构的CPS计算基础设施，利用各种云到边缘技术，包括从现成的CPU到定制的AI加速器，由多个提供商提供。MYRTUS的主要成果是：（i）MYRTUS参考基础设施，包括分布在计算连续体中的各种异构、自治、联合和协作计算节点;（ii）一个新的管理方案，其中包括MIRTO，一个人工智能驱动的认知引擎，能够360°编排整个连续体基础设施，以及（iii）MYRTUS设计和编程环境，用于设计，部署，并操作如此复杂的基础设施。MYRTUS解决方案代表了解锁CPS新生活维度的工具，追求可持续和负责任的计算，开放性，安全性和可信度，并通过与相关倡议和项目建立协同效应来促进战略性工业合作，如IPCEI，Gaia-X，TransContinuum Initiative。技术评估是在两个具有挑战性的场景中进行的，即涉及人类的医疗保健和移动性。

The “Multi-layer 360° dYnamic orchestration and interopeRable design environmenT for compute-continUum Systems (MYRTUS)” project aims to provide the technology to make CPS evolving towards a living dimension, embracing the technological principles of the TransContinuum Initiative where “edge, fog and cloud computing platforms are being pulled closer together into a seamless execution environment” and “programming has to be reinvented, with languages and tools to orchestrate collaborative distributed and decentralised components, as well as components augmented with interface contracts covering both functional and non-functional properties”. MYRTUS putstogether different technologiesto design and operate complex, distributed, and heterogeneous CPS computing infrastructures, leveraging diverse cloud to edge technologies, including from off the shelf CPUs to custom AI accelerators, offered by multiple providers. Main MYRTUS results are (i) the MYRTUS reference infrastructure, comprising a diversity of heterogeneous, autonomous, federated and collaborative computing nodes distributed across the computing continuum; (ii) a novel management scheme featuring MIRTO, an AI-powered cognitive engine capable of orchestrating, at 360°, the whole continuum infrastructure, and (iii) the MYRTUS design and programming environment to design, deploy, and operate such complex infrastructures. MYRTUS solutions represent the instruments to unlock the new living dimension of CPS, pursuing also sustainable and responsible computing, openness, security and trustworthiness, and promoting strategic industrial cooperations by establishing synergies with relevant initiatives and projects, as IPCEI, Gaia-X, TransContinuum Initiative. Technology assessment is carried out within two challenging scenarios, Healthcare and Mobility, involving humans.
