Abstract

We describe the implementation underlying an environment for distributed computing that uses the concept of well-known paradigms. The main advantage of paradigm oriented distributed computing is that the user only needs to specify application-specific sequential code, while the underlying infrastructure takes care of the parallelization and distribution. The main features of the proposed approach, called PODC, which differentiate it from other approaches, are the following: (1) it is intended for loosely-coupled network environments, not specialized multiprocessors; (2) it is based on an infrastructure of mobile agents; (3) it supports programming in C, rather than a functional or special-purpose language, and (4) it provides a Web based interactive graphics interface through which programs are constructed, invoked, and monitored. The three paradigms presently supported in PODC are the bag-of-tasks, the branch-and-bound and genetic programming. We describe their implementation and performance within the mobile agent based PODC environment.
使用移动代理的面向范例的分布式计算
我们描述了分布式计算环境的底层实现,该环境使用了众所周知的范式概念。面向范例的分布式计算的主要优点是,用户只需要指定特定于应用程序的顺序代码,而底层基础设施负责并行化和分布。这种被称为PODC的方法与其他方法的主要区别在于:(1)它适用于松耦合的网络环境,而不是专用的多处理器;(2)基于移动代理的基础设施;(3)它支持用C语言编程,而不是一种功能语言或专用语言;(4)它提供了一个基于Web的交互式图形界面,通过该界面可以构造、调用和监视程序。目前在PODC中支持的三种范式是任务包、分支绑定和遗传规划。我们描述了它们在基于移动代理的PODC环境中的实现和性能。
