Multi-Core Code in a Cluster. A Meaningful Option?

Original language description

In this paper we investigate whether parallelization of an application code for multi-core machines can bring any benefit for clustering systems, especially those based on opportunistic usage of idle resources. Previous research has shown that transformation of shared memory applications into clustered applications is complicated. At the moment, there is no practical solution available. Therefore, we instead focus on message passing applications as possible candidates for parallelization. We demonstratea low effort approach that allows programmers to transform a multi-core Erlang code into a code that can run in a cluster environment. We provide scalability measurements of the solution in small clusters of commodity computers and identify weak pointsof the solution.
