XCPU3: Workload Distribution and Aggregation

The mainstream adoption of cluster, grid, and most recently cloud computing models have broadened the applicability of parallel programming from scientific communities to the business domain. Despite the popularity of these emerging models, deploying parallel applications to these loosely coupled environments still requires substantial expertise in part due to the complexity of interactions between existing distributed middleware and runtime packages. We feel it is past time to re-evaluate a more tightly integrated model where distributed execution, process control, and communication are provided by the underlying operating system in a programming language and runtime independent fashion.
