Kurzbeschreibung
Cohesion is the first of a new kind of modular Peer-to-Peer multi-application Desktop Grid computing platforms. By implementing the microkernel architectural pattern, Cohesion is especially suited for extension and customization even at the system level and thus can satisfy a wide variety of application-specific requirements. Cohesion strives for pushing the limits of the Desktop Grid Computing approach by enabling advanced parallel programming models. We focus on task-parallel programming models targeted towards Irregularly Structured Problems (ISPs). ISPs are parallel applications, whose computation and interaction patterns are input-dependent, unstructured and evolving during the computation. Prominent examples are discrete optimization, SAT Solving and constraint satisfaction problems in general.
