Abstract

In this paper, we describe how a metacomputing environment called Web Operating System (WOS™) together with a new programming paradigm called ParCeL-2 may be used to exploit available computing resources on a parallel/distributed environment. The main feature of the WOS™ is to manage contexts of execution (hardware, software, time, etc). The WOS™ fulfills users' requests while considering all possible execution contexts in order to provide the application with the best resources available. In the model presented, we assume that parallel/distributed HPC applications are written using ParCeL-2. The well defined computing model as well as the hierarchical syntactic structure of ParCeL-2 allow for an automatic adaptation, at execution time, of the size of the different parallel processes, depending on the context of execution. We have called this approach, derived from intensional logic : intensional High Performance Computing (iHPC).
