Revolutionary Advances in Ubiquitious, Real-Time Multicomputers and Runtime Environments

Abstract

This work was a grant to enhance the Maruti operating system in several ways, in order to provide Mississippi State with a platform upon which their work on the Real-Time Message Passing Interface could be developed. Key technical achievements: (1) Developed predictable Myrinet communications for use in a real-time NOW; (2) Developed the MSU-Kernel to provide a POSIX OS for real-time NOWs; (3) Developed and implemented an algorithm for deploying a globally synchronized clock in a real-time NOW; (4) Developed an improved real-time scheduler for the Maruti hard real-time operating system at University of Maryland (UMD); and (5) Introduced a new parametric approach in Maruti for dynamic scheduling at UMD. Details of the results of the work are presented in papers, thesis and project reports.
