Abstract
DECK (Distributed Executive Communication Kernel) is a communication layer that provides support for multithreading and fault tolerance. The approach retained in DECK is close to other distributed communication kernels like PM2, Athapascan, Nexus, TPVM or Chant in its way to integrate communication and multithreading to efficiently overlap communication by computation and provide low latency mechanisms to remote thread creation. However, DECK differs from these communication kernels from the services offered and its modular architecture. The main goal of DECK is to implement a new model for the design of distributed executive kernel to efficiently use the new underlying hardware architectures (SMP architectures and fast communication adapters like Myrinet or memory oriented adapter like SCI) and provide a portable layer that abstract the problems linked with the integration of communication and multithreading while offering support for heterogeneity. A great lack in the cur...
