Walker (bruce.walker@hp.com) + +There are several kernel-based clusterwide +process management implementations available +today, each of which provides different +semantics and capabilities (OpenSSI, +openMosix, bproc, Kerrighed, etc.). We present +a set of hooks to allow various installable +kernel module implementations with a high +degree of flexibility and virtually no +performance impact. Optional capabilities that +can be implemented via the hooks include: +clusterwide unique pids, single, init, +heterogeneity, transparent visibility and +access to any process from any node, ability +to distribute processes at exec or fork or +thru migration, file inheritance and full +controlling terminal semantics, node failure +cleanup, clusterwide \ident{/proc/<pid>}, +checkpoint/restart and scale to thousands of +nodes. In addition, we describe an +OpenSSI-inspired implementation using the +hooks and providing all the features described +above. + |
