Basic Resource Aggregation System Infrastructure Layer

Brasil is a self-contained service which can be deployed across a cluster to provide a dataow workload distribution and communication aggregation mechanism. Together with our dataow shell, named PUSH, it is intended to be used for the management of non-traditional super computing appli- cations as well as provide a mechanism to manage in-situ analysis and vizualization of more traditional high perfor- mance computing simulations. This paper describes our ex- periences implementing and deploying a prototype of Brasil on a BlueGene/P supercomputer.
