Background Execution of Time Warp Programs

Carothers, Christopher
Fujimoto, Richard M.

Abstract

A load distribution system is proposed to enable a single Time Warp program to execute in background, spreading over a collection of possibly heterogeneous workstations (including multiprocessor hosts), utilizing whatever otherwise unused CPU cycles are available. The system uses a simple processor allocation policy to dynamically add or delete hosts from the set of processors utilized by the Time Warp program during its execution. A load balancing algorithm is used that allocates logical.
