ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present a proposed system architecture for global computing that we call ATLAS, and we describe an early prototype that implements several of the mechanisms and policies that comprise the proposed architecture. ATLAS is designed to execute parallel multithreaded programs on the networked computing resources of the world. The ATLAS system is a marriage of existing technologies from Java and Cilk together with some new technologies needed to extend the system into the global domain.
