Scalable Parallel Operating Systems: Essential services include Thread, Memory, Process and I/O Management
-
Neither UNIX nor NT will scale to PetaSystems
-
Study (tighter) Integration of O/S with applications
-
Fault tolerance not so important initially
|
Programming Paradigms: Expression of Temporal and Spatial Locality in applications so that PetaFlop compiler/Runtime can exploit
-
Including "Gibbs"-like, MPI and HPF Style approaches
|
|
Tools: Debuggers, Performance
|
|
Problem Solving Environments: Ignore in initial effort
|
|
Industry would be potentially interested in such a program!
