Nexus
- Abstract
- Nexus is a portable library providing the multithreading,
communication, and resource management facilities required
to implement advanced languages, libraries, and applications
in heterogeneous parallel and distributed computing
environments. Its interface provides multiple threads
of control, dynamic processor acquisition, dynamic
address space creation, a global memory model via interprocessor
references, and asynchronous events. Its implementation
supports multiple communication protocols and resource
characterization mechanisms that allow automatic selection
of optimal protocols. Nexus is intended for use by
compiler writers and library developers, rather than
application programmers.
Nexus is now part of the Globus toolkit and is distributed as such.
