BOF 1: (INTER PROCESS COMMUNICATION) vulnerability issues in IPC (get/read/put) -- how can we prevent malicious users from corrupting the database? firewall issues -- certain clients will not be able to communicate. what type of applications can use this? cellular GAs? MPI applications -- not all MPI applications require tightly coupled processors, some have more appropriate computation to communication ratios. somewhat coupled applications * load balancing -- appropriately balancing load can reduce inter client communication and maybe make IPC useful to some applications * process migration -- can aid in load balancing * latency detection -- grouping clients with low latency could allow group computation malaria control memory bound simulation can benefit from having a workunit split between hosts are communication requirements realistic? reduce communication with algorithm p2p communication bewteen clients distributed hashtables could be used for put/read/get put/read/get could use storage for checkpoints -- cliques can be used as well
