Project goal: Develop system-level management software (Linux enhancements) for automatic management of resources in a large scale, distributed-memory multi-core architecture (tens to hundreds of cores).

Necessary activities: develop system-level software that makes all the cores perform like an Symmetrical Multi-Processor (SMP). 

Main features include:
- Single-system image – transform “cluster-on-a-chip” to one computer with multiple processors.
- Dynamic work distribution - match available and requested resources.
- Transparent to applications.
- Support high degree of parallelism, e.g. threads.

Expected results: a Linux based software for automatic management of a scalable multi-core architecture.

Architecture - define architecture details: memory-access, memory sharing, interconnection network of a scalable multi-core.

Parallel application  - develop massive parallel applications.

Programming environments - develop run time environment that supports massive parallel applications.

Virtualization  - develop light weight VMM and an interface between VMM and management software for dynamic allocation of resources to VMs
