Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008131446A2] "An affordable, highly trustworthy, survivable and available, operationally efficient distributed supercomputing infrastructure for processing, sharing and protecting both structured and unstructured information " A primary objective of the SHADOWS infrastructure is to establish a highly survivable, essentially maintenance-free shared platform for extremely high-performance computing (? e, supercornputing) - with "high performance" define both in terms of total throughput, but also in terms of very low- latency (although not every problem or customer necessarily requires very low latency) - while achieving unprecedented levels of affordability At its simplest, the idea is to use distributed "teams" of nodes in a self-healing network as the basis for managing and coordinating both the work to be accomplished and the resources available to do the work The SHADOWS concept of "teams" is responsible for its ability to "self-heal" and "adapt" its distributed resources in an "organic" manner Furthermore, the "teams" themselves are at the heart of decision-making, processing, and storage in the SHADOWS infrastructure Everything that's important is handled under the auspices and stewardship of a team.
