Abstract

This poster will present a coordination language for distributed computing and will discuss its application to cluster computing. It will introduce a programming technique of cluster computing whereby application components are completely dissociated from the communication/coordination infrastructure (unlike MPI-style message passing), and there is no shared memory either, whether virtual or physical (unlike Open-MP). Cluster computing is thus presented as something that happens as late as the assembly stage: components are integrated into an application using a new form of network glue: Single-Input, Single-Output (SISO) asynchronous, no deterministic coordination.
