Anahy-DVM: um módulo para escalonamento distribuído

Abstract

Lately, the usage of computer clusters has increased. However, programming for this class of architecture is non trivial. This happens due the fact that, besides programming

the application, detecting and specifying its concurrency, the programmer is also responsible for coding the scheduler of the application so it can use computer clusters efficiently. There are programming tools that propose solutions for these problems, one of these tools is Anahy. This work proposes an extension for Anahy runtime in order to provide support for

distributed memory environments. In order to achieve this objective, the execution core of Anahy is extended so the necessary data structures can be accessed by this module. It

is also necessary to develop a comunication mechanism among the nodes of the cluster so they can exchange the necessary information to complete the computation. Finally, the module is evaluated using a synthetic application. Through this evaluation, the module is analyzed relating to its usability in the
