Managing Contracts in Pleiades Using Trust ManagementApril 26th, 2008
As far back as 1989, Intel researchers suggested that multicore technology could be used to meet ever increasing compute requirements [2]. Today, two to eight core pro- cessors are standard, and microprocessors containing 10-100 cores together with cru- cial advances in memory technology, throughput and latency are imminent [3]. It is clear that multicore technology will be available in all standard machines sold in the near future at no appreciable cost increase. Even though the motivation for constructing these machines is to satisfy the compute requirements of more and more sophisticated applications, history tells us that large user communities will not immediately avail of this increase in power. To appreciate this point, one needs only to look at current us- age profiles, in which many machines still spend much of their time doing nothing. In these communities, increased power will translate into greater wastage of compute
