ChipOS based Grid Computing

Grid computing technology has become the most popular and mature way of distributed computing recently. At the same time, embedded system and System-on-Chip(SoC) architecture are becoming commonly used in calculation area, because of the low design cost and extensible architecture. These new technology provides a noval way to construct grid computing infrustructure with embedded system on SoC. This paper presents a dual OS architcture to establish a grid computing infrustructure, with a on-chip OS named ChipOS to provide grid computing tasks dispatching and the general purpose operating system to deal with normal computing tasks. This dual OS grid computing architecture is proved an effective task dispatching platform for grid computing. Key–Words: Grid Computing, System-on-Chip, Embedded System, Dual OS, Scratch Pad Memory
