Future exascale systems will comprise=0Ahundreds of thousands of compute nodes linked by complex networks. Compute=0Anodes are expected to host both general-purpose and special-purpose processors=0Aor accelerators, with more complex memory hierarchies. At those scale the HPC=0Acommunity expects that we will also require new programming models, to take=0Aadvantage of both intra-node and inter-node parallelism.=0A=0AIn this context, the Argo Project is developing a new operating system and=0Aruntime for exascale machines. It is designed from the ground up to run future=0AHPC application at extreme scales. At the heart of the project are four key=0Ainnovations: dynamic reconfiguring of node resources in response to workload=0Achanges, allowance for massive concurrency, a hierarchical framework for=0Amanagement of nodes, and a cross-layer communication infrastructure that allows=0Aresource managers and optimizers to communicate efficiently across the=0Aplatform.
