software_title: "LaunchMON: An Infrastructue for Large Scale Tool Daemon Launching"
acronym: "LaunchMON V1.0"
doi: "https://doi.org/10.11578/dc.20171025.1138"
description: "LaunchMON is a tool infrastructure that allows a HPC tool to deploy\
  \ tool daemons into the right remote nodes. It makes use of a target resource manager\
  \ (RM)'s Automatic Process Acquisition Interface (APAI) to identify the remote nodes\
  \ and processes of a parallel program, and also exploits the same RM's efficient\
  \ MPI job launching capability on co-locating daemons with the job. To support a\
  \ wide range of HPC tools that are inherently distributed software, LaunchMON provides\
  \ the tool with distributed application programming interface sets: the front end\
  \ (FE) API, the back end (BE) API and the middleware (MW) API. They each support\
  \ a tool's front end, back end daemons and middleware communication daemons, respectively.\
  \ Using those API sets, the tool can launch and initialize their remote daemons\
  \ scalably."
