Foil 13 HLA/RTI at Top Management Level

From HPcc from HLA/WebFlow/JWORB Perspective Madison Wisconsin Internet server Performance Meeting and Sandia Review Albuquerque -- June 23 and 24 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


Resource Management typically breaks down into either
  • a) Scheduling of largely independent jobs
  • b) Optimized data placement in a data parallel entity
So a) is all at middle tier and should use commodity solutions -- there are many queuing systems such as Condor, Codine, LSF which we can "wrap" and Microsoft does not yet have a fully scalable commodity solution
  • Enterprise computing has Transaction Monitors
So it is still embryonic but we suggest adopting the HLA/RTI framework as this supports job placement, interdependencies (time management) and hierarchical systems of federations --> federates
Optimized data placement has been largely solved as a mathematical problem by HPCC but not packaged broadly. Our suggestion suggests how to invoke as backend support for a commodity service
