Abstract

While previous work has shown MPI to provide capabilities for system software, actual adoption has not widely occurred. We discuss process management shortcomings in MPI implementations and their impact on MPI usability for system software and managment tasks. We introduce MPISH, a parallel shell designed to address these issues. Keywords: MPI, System Software, System Management, Scalability
