  14. Immersive Environments

  15. 3D Information and Interaction

  16. Problem: Curse of dynamics: Static task load Dynamic task load Static task allocation Predictable reallocation Dynamical reallocation Static resource load Dynamic resource load

  17. Solution To Curse • Performance of a parallel program usuallydictated by slowest task • Task resource requirements and available resources both vary dynamically • Therefore, optimal task allocation changes • Gain must exceed cost of migration • Resources used by long-running programs may be reclaimed by owner

  18. Node A Node B PVMtask 1 PVMD A PVMD B Node C PVMtask 2 PVMD C Dynamite Initial State Two PVM tasks communicating through a network of daemons Migrate task 2 to node B

  19. Node A Node B Newcontext PVMtask 1 PVMD A PVMD B Node C Program PVM Ckpt PVMD C Prepare for Migration Create new context for task 2 Tell PVM daemon B to expect messages for task 2 Update routing tables in daemons (first B, then A, later C)

  20. Checkpointing Node A Node B Newcontext PVMtask 1 PVMD A PVMD B Node C Program PVM Ckpt PVMD C Send checkpoint signal to task 2 Flush connections Checkpoint task to disk

  21. Cross-cluster checkpointing(design) Node A Node B Helper task PVMtask 1 PVMD A PVMD B Node C Program PVM Ckpt PVMD C Send checkpoint signal to task 2 Flush connections, close files Checkpoint task to disk via helper task

  22. Restart Execution Node A Node B NewPVM task 2 PVMtask 1 PVMD A PVMD B Node C PVMD C Restart checkpointed task 2 on node B Resume communications Re-open & re-position files

  23. Special considerations • Preserve communication • PVM should continue to run as if nothing happened • Use location independent addressing • Open files • Preserve open file state

  24. Performance • Migration speed largely dependent on the speed of shared file system • and that depends mostly on the network • NFS over 100 Mbps Ethernet • 0.4 s < Tmig < 15 s for 2 MB < sizeimg < 64 MB • Communication speed reduced due to added overhead • 25% for 1 byte direct messages • 2% for 100 KB indirect messages

  25. Current status: Dynamite Part • Checkpointer operational under • Solaris 2.5.1 and higher (UltraSparc, 32 bit) • Linux/i386 2.0 and 2.2 (libc5 and glibc 2.0) • PVM 3.3.x applications supported and tested • Pam-Crash (ESI) - car crash simulations • CEM3D (ESI) - electro-magnetics code • Grail (UvA) - large, simple FEM code • NAS parallel benchmarks • BloodFlow • MPI and socket (Univ. of Krakow) libraries available • Scheduling not yet satisfactory

  26. Architecture: Revisited

  27. Design Considerations • High Quality presentation • High Frame rate • Intuitive interaction • Real-time response • Interactive Algorithms • High performance computing and networking...

  28. Problem: Time, time what has become of us?

  31. Runtime Support • Need generic framework to support modalities • Need interoperability • High Level Architecture (HLA): • data distribution across heterogeneous platforms • flexible attribute and ownership mechanisms • advanced time management

  32. Provoking a bit… Progress in natural sciences comes from taking things apart ... Progress in computer science comes from bringing things together...
