The NEPHEW project implements a software environment for the rapid and easy development and deployment of professional high-performance computer (HPC) applications on Heterogeneous Networks of PCs.
At the application design level, this parallel software engineering toolset reuses and extends the PEAKWARE environment originally developed by MS&I for the design and deployment of parallel real-time applications for heterogeneous target platforms. The goal of using PEAKWARE is to break the cost barrier of developing parallel applications.
At the deployment level, the toolset relies on DOLPHIN SCI clustering technology and on new standards that are under adaptation in the PC world to support efficient clustering of PC servers.
The NEPHEW environment is validated and assessed using three parallel applications in areas where a low-cost and high-speed high-performance computing and networking (HPCN) has been introduced as a novelty. This is done by using already existing PC-based infrastructures:
- the first application concerns the implementation of a real-time aircraft flight-control simulation system over a cluster of PCs;
- the second application deals with the parallelization of semi-automatic film restoration modules which cannot be considered for manual MPI-parallelisation because of a too low effort/benefit ratio;
- the third application is the parallelisation of a medical image reconstruction application (reconstruction of functional images, e.g. Positron-Emission-Tomography) for use in cardiology, oncology and neurology.;
