Scalable Distributed Systems
Hobbes: Exascale OS & Runtime
Hobbes is an OS/R framework for extreme-scale systems that support application composition, addresses power/ energy, scheduling and resilience concerns and uses virtualization to provide flexibility for different operating environments.
UNM Investigators: Patrick Bridges and Dorian Arnold
Collaborators: SNL, LANL, ORNL, Georgia Tech., NCSU, Northwestern, U. of Arizona, U. of Pittsburgh
Scalable Middleware and Tools
These projects aim to improve our understanding about how to design and eploy protocols and infrastructures for HPC systems. Topics include tree-based overlay networks, large scale debugging and scalable job startup.
UNM Investigators: Dorian Arnold
Collaborators: LANL, LNL
Indefinite Scalability
Challenging the premise of deterministic program execution, this project aims to overcome architectural scalability limits, like fixed-width addresses and globally unique node names, via the Movable Feast Machine, a robust, indefinitely scalable computer architecture

Understanding Power Performance
Can we predict from first principles how energy use scales with system size? Based on biological theories, we provide order-of-magnitude predictions and optimize power performance, as a function of size, and compare with existing chip designs.

Autonomic Distributed Systems
This project studies large-scale, loosely coupled, heterogeneous, distributed systems that self-adapt to dynamic changes in resources, workloads, and application needs and goals.
