In the next decade, a growing number of scientific and industrial applications will require power-efficient systems providing unprecedented computation, memory, and communication resources. A promising paradigm foresees the use of heterogeneous many-tile architectures. The resulting computing systems are complex: they must be protected against several sources of faults and critical events, and application programmers must be provided with programming paradigms, software environments and debugging tools adequate to manage such complexity. The EURETILE (European Reference Tiled Architecture Experiment) consortium conceived, designed, and implemented: 1- an innovative many-tile, many-process dynamic fault-tolerant programming paradigm and software environment, grounded onto a lightweight operating system generated by an automated software synthesis mechanism that takes into …
