Distributed Execution of Ptolemy Models Yang Zhao (ellen_zh@eecs) Thomas H. Feng (tfeng@eecs) Class Project for EE290N
Overview A framework to distributedly execute Ptolemy models (currently, PN models): DPN (Distributed PN) domain in Ptolemy • Startup and communication between submodels • PN semantics (blocking read, blocking write) • Model deployment Communication framework based on CORBA • Dynamically lookup machines (Naming Service) • Ptolemy process startup on request (ptAgent) • Message relay (ptAgent)

Distributed Execution in Ptolemy • Two major ways: • Distribute a big model to a set of hosts and have them cooperate when executing to maintain the entire behavior. • Discover applications or models currently running in the system and join them: ex, distributed games, chat rooms.

Future Work • Extend the current implementation to support more domains (e.g., DE, SDF) • Improve communication efficiency to enable high-performance execution • To preserve the semantics of timed domains, realize backtracking with AspectJ • Provide more facility at a lower level, e.g., communication observer, debugger and life-time management
