Abstract

Loosely-coupled clusters and grids are popular platforms for parallel processing as they have good cost-performance ratios, are scalable and abundant. However, these platforms represent highly dynamic environments. Performance and efficiency can be seriously impacted by environmental perturbations, especially where the run-time configuration has been decided statically, either at compile time or at the start of execution. Autonomic computing advocates self-managing behaviour in which applications continuously modify their behaviour to suit their environment and context. This approach reduces the emphasis on the pre-configuration of components and relies instead on inbuild learning and discovery capabilities. This paper reports part of an investigation into the extend to which the autonomic approach can be beneficial to parallel processing in loosely-coupled environments.
