Parallel System Software for Multi-core and Many-core

Research Project Outline

Assuming the post-petaflops parallel architecture will be the combination of general purpose multi-core CPUs and specialized many-core CPUS, a scalable system software for that architecture will be studied and developed. A newly developed lite OS running on the many-core CPUs and a general purpose OS running on the multi-core CPUs will communicate with the other to provide efficient and optimized communication, efficient parallel I/O including MPI-IO, ultra lite threads, and fault resilience functions.
