A Direct Implementation of the PTIDES Programming Model by Complete, Semantic

by Noah Watkins for Ptolemy Project, University of California, Berkeley

A proposal to implement the PTIDES programming model in Linux. Implementing PTIDES semantics in Linux is difficult because Linux hard-wires its scheduling semantics. A framework called Group Scheduling is presented that allows for the creation of arbitrary programming models in Linux, and offers solutions to achiving precise control of computations. This prospoal is intended to describe a possible implementation of PTIDES semantics in Linux using the Group Scheduling framework.
