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

“计算连续体系统的多层360°动态编排和可互操作设计环境（MYRTUS）”项目旨在提供技术，使CPS向生活维度发展，拥抱跨连续体计划的技术原则，其中“边缘、雾和云计算平台被拉得更近，形成一个无缝的执行环境”和“编程必须重新发明”。使用语言和工具来编排协作式分布式和去中心化组件，以及使用涵盖功能和非功能属性的接口契约增强的组件”。MYRTUS将不同的技术整合在一起，设计和运行复杂的、分布式的、异构的CPS计算基础设施，利用不同的云到边缘技术，包括从现成的cpu到定制的AI加速器，这些技术由多个提供商提供。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多种异构、自治、联合和协作计算节点；（ii）采用MIRTO的新型管理方案，MIRTO是一种人工智能驱动的认知引擎，能够360°协调整个连续体基础设施；（iii） MYRTUS设计和编程环境，用于设计、部署和操作此类复杂基础设施。MYRTUS解决方案代表了开启CPS新生活维度的工具，追求可持续和负责任的计算、开放性、安全性和可信赖性，并通过与IPCEI、Gaia-X、TransContinuum Initiative等相关倡议和项目建立协同效应，促进战略产业合作。技术评估是在涉及人类的两个具有挑战性的场景中进行的，分别是医疗保健和移动。

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.
