Title: FY 2006 Accomplishment Colony - "Services and Interfaces to Support Large Numbers of Processors"

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/929165· OSTI ID:929165

The Colony Project is developing operating system and runtime system technology to enable efficient general purpose environments on tens of thousands of processors. To accomplish this, we are investigating memory management techniques, fault management strategies, and parallel resource management schemes. Recent results show promising findings for scalable strategies based on processor virtualization, in-memory checkpointing, and parallel aware modifications to full featured operating systems.
