Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an agent-based infrastructure that provides software services and functions for developing and deploying high performance programming models and applications on clusters. A Java-based prototype, based on this architecture, has been developed. Since this system is written completely in Java, it is portable and allows executing programs in parallel across multiple heterogeneous platforms. With the agent-based infrastructure, users need not deal with the mechanisms of deploying and loading user classes on the heterogeneous cluster. Moreover, details of scheduling, controlling, monitoring, and executing user jobs are hidden. In addition, the management of system resources is made transparent to the user. Such uniform services, when rendered available in a ubiquitous manner, are essential for facilitating the development and deployment of scalable high performance Java applications on clusters. An initial deployment over a heterogeneous, distributed cluster results in significantly enhanced performance; absolute performance compared to C (MPI) improves with increased granularity of the algorithms.

用于异构集群上的并行Java的基于代理的基础结构

在本文中，我们介绍了一个基于代理的基础架构，它为在集群上开发和部署高性能编程模型和应用程序提供软件服务和功能。基于此体系结构开发了一个基于java的原型。由于这个系统完全是用Java编写的，所以它是可移植的，并且允许在多个异构平台上并行执行程序。使用基于代理的基础设施，用户不需要处理在异构集群上部署和加载用户类的机制。此外，还隐藏了调度、控制、监视和执行用户作业的详细信息。此外，系统资源的管理对用户是透明的。这种统一的服务，当以一种无处不在的方式呈现时，对于促进在集群上开发和部署可伸缩的高性能Java应用程序是必不可少的。在异构、分布式集群上的初始部署可以显著提高性能;与C (MPI)相比，绝对性能随着算法粒度的增加而提高。
