MPVM: A Migration Transparent Version of PVM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) is a widely-used software system that allows a heterogeneous set of parallel and serial UNIX-based computers to be programmed as a single message-passing parallel machine. In this paper, an extension to PVM to support dynamic process migration is presented. Support for migration is important in general-purpose workstation environments since it allows parallel computations to co-exist with other applications, using idle-cycles as they become available and off-loading from workstations when they are no longer free. A description and evaluation of the design and implementation of the prototype Migratable PVM system is presented together with some performance results. @ 1995 The USENIX Association, Computing Systems, Vol. 8 .

Processor Virtualization and Migration for PVM
This paper describes research underway to deene and develop the next generation of PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine). Future versions of PVM will be modular and open so as to allow interoperability with other packages, such as distributed scheduling systems. We concentrate on one aspect of the work: providing virtualization of processors and transparent migration mechanisms within the message-pass...
متن کاملM-PVM: An Implementation of PVM for Multithreaded and Shared-Memory Environments
M-PVM is an implementation of PVM designed to work efficiently in parallel architectures supporting multithreading and the shared memory model. In particular, the current M-PVM implementation is running within MULPLIX, a Unix-like operating system designed to efficiently support parallel applications running on MUL TIPLUS, a distributed shared memory parallel computer under development at the F...
متن کاملA User-Level Process Package for Concurrent Computing
A lightweight user-level process(ULP) package for parallel computing is described. Each ULP has its own register context, stack, data and heap space and communication with other ULPs is performed using locally synchronous, location transparent, message passing primitives. The aim of the package is to provide support for lightweight over-decomposition, optimized local communication and transpare...

متن کاملParallel Checkpoint/Recovery on Cluster of IA-64 Computers
We design and implement a high availability parallel run-time system---ChaRM64, a Checkpointbased Rollback Recovery and Migration system for parallel running programs on a cluster of IA-64 computers. At first, we discuss our solution of a user-level, single process checkpoint/recovery library running on IA-64 systems. Based on this library, ChaRM64 is realized, which implements a user-transpare...
