On The Interoperability Of Programming Languages Based On The Fork-Join Parallelism Model, Sushek Shekar
On The Interoperability Of Programming Languages Based On The Fork-Join Parallelism Model, Sushek Shekar
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis describes the implementation of MetaFork, a meta-language for concurrency platforms targeting multicore architectures. First of all, MetaFork is a multithreaded language based on the fork-join model of concurrency: it allows the programmer to express parallel algorithms assuming that tasks are dynamically scheduled at run-time. While MetaFork makes no assumption about the run-time system, it formally defines the serial C-elision of a MetaFork program. In addition, MetaFork is a suite of source-to-source compilers permitting the automatic translation of multithreaded programs between programming languages based on the fork-join model. Currently, this compilation framework supports the OpenMP and CilkPlus concurrency platforms. …
Collaborative Policy-Based Autonomic Management In Iaas Clouds, Omid Mola
Collaborative Policy-Based Autonomic Management In Iaas Clouds, Omid Mola
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
With the increasing number of "machines" (either virtual or physical) in a computing environment, it is becoming harder to monitor and manage these resources. Relying on human administrators, even with tools, is expensive and the growing complexity makes management even harder. The alternative is to look for automated approaches that can monitor and manage computing resources in real time with no human intervention. One of the approaches to this problem is policy-based autonomic management. However, in large systems having one single autonomic manager to manage everything is almost impossible. Therefore, multiple autonomic managers will be needed and these will need …
