Abstract
Clusters and MPP’s are traditional platforms for message passing applications, but there is growing interest in more dynamic metacomputing environments. The latter are characterized by dynamicity in availability and available capacity – of both nodes and interconnects. This talk will discuss fundamental challenges in executing message passing programs in such environments, and analyze the issue of adaptivity from the resource and application points of view. Pragmatic solutions to some of these challenges will then be described, along with new approaches to dealing with the aggregation of multidomain computing platforms for distributed memory concurrent computing.
