A Component Framework for HPC Applications

Abstract. We describe a general component software framework designed for demanding grid environments that provides optimal performance for the assembled component application. This is achieved by ng the high level abstract description of the composition from the low level implementations. These implementations are chosen at run time by performance analysis of the composed application on the currently available resources. We show through the solution of a simple linear algebra problem that the framework introduces minimal overheads while always selecting the most effective implementation.
