Ongoing and Future Work
Ongoing work
- transparent enhancements to master-worker model
- performance improvements, sabotage-tolerance, etc.
- making the framework more flexible and easier to use
- use interfaces for flexibility
Future work
- support other programming models
- Cilk, Linda, PVM(?), others?
- more “real-world” applications
- try different approaches for programming interface, adaptive parallelism, security, etc.
A lot more work and research remain, but current results are promising.
