Parallax - A New Operating System for Scalable, Distributed, and Parallel Computing

1. DIME Network Architecture (DNA) for a New Generation of Many-core Computing Parallax - A New Operating System for Scalable, Distributed, and Parallel Computing Stop Start SMTPS11

2. Agenda • The hardware upheaval and the von Neumann Bottleneck • Possible Solution using a Parallel DIME™ network computing model with telecom grade trust • Parallax – A potentially new Operating System (OS) • Proof of concept demo The history of the evolution of current OSs is filled with lessons on wasted billions (does anyone remember Multics or OS2?), unmet expectations (who would have thought UNIX, the original System V, would vanish), surprise winners (Windowsand Linux), and stealthy survivors (Mach in a Mac)

3. Many-core Servers • SeaMicro – Custom Servers – 512, 1.66 GHz 64 bit X86 Intel Atom cores in 10 RU; 2,048 CPUs/rack • Calxeda - highly integrated Server‐on‐Chip built around a new generation ARM processor – 480 cores • Silicon Graphics – Altix UV – • 2048 cores, 16 TB memory per Single System Image scales to 32,768 processor sockets providing up to 262,144 Intel Xeon cores (8-cores per socket)

4. Hardware Upheaval and von Neumann Bottleneck Up to 46,080 processing cores or 29.8 petabytes of storage per container No Operating System that provides Application-centric Resource Management in real-time 512 Cores Operating System Gap 480 Cores Layers of Management Infrastructure Running an OS that cannot see beyond tens of cores Network Infrastructure With Complex Management Systems

5. Current Economics of IT $61.2M $31.6M % of TCO over Five Years Hardware Upheaval is not Matched by Software Innovation!!

10. Lessons From Biology "The basic principle of dealing with malfunctions in nature is to make their effect as unimportant as possible and to apply correctives, if they are necessary at all, at leisure. In our dealings with artificial automata, on the other hand, we require an immediate diagnosis. Therefore, we are trying to arrange the automata in such a manner that errors will become as conspicuous as possible, and intervention and correction follow immediately."                                         --- John von Neumann, "The General and Logical Theory of Automata", John vonNeumann Collected Works, Edited by A. H. Taub, Volume 5, p 289 (Hixon Symposium 1948) "It's very likely that on the basis of philosophy that every error has to be caught, explained, and corrected, a system of the complexity of the living organism would not run for a millisecond." --- von Neumann, Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata (1948) at the Hixon Symposium, Pasadena, California
