CISE Research Instrumentation

该合同将购买一个小型工作站网络，包括配件和软件，以支持4个研究项目：1)进一步开发Calypso，一种基于软件的高性能计算执行平台。这个实验项目源于先前处理抽象机器的理论工作。目前的原型将在选定的应用程序上进一步增强和测试。将特别注意可伸缩性、负载平衡和容错性。2)持久性Linda的实验，这是一种基于轻量级事务的容错Linda的实现。大规模实验将使用多台机器执行长时间并行计算。3)构建一个实验平台，便于实现和评估基本的符号计算算法。将特别注意使该平台坚固、灵活和可移植。4)将开发一种新的集中式持久对象系统的分布式扩展。该系统将通过诸如类型安全、分布式锁定、分布式同步和协作应用程序等新功能得到增强。＊＊＊

9421935 Kedem This award is to purchase a small network of workstations with accessories and software to support 4 research projects: 1) Further development of Calypso, a software-based execution platform for high-performance computing. This experimental project grew out of previous theoretical work dealing with abstract machines. The current prototype will be further enhanced and tested on selected applications. Special attention will be paid to scalability, load balancing, and fault tolerance. 2) Experimentation with Persistent Linda, an implementation of a fault-tolerant Linda built on top of lightweight transactions. Large-scale experimentation will be conducted using multiple machines executing long-running parallel computations. 3) Construction of an experimental platform for the easy implementation and evaluation of fundamental, symbolic computation algorithms. Special attention will be given to making the platform robust, flexible, and portable. 4) Distributed extension to a novel, centralized persistent object system will be developed. The system will be enhanced by new facilities such as type security, distributed locking, distributed synchronization, and collaborative applications. ***
