Service virtualization using a non-von Neumann parallel,distributed,and scalable computing model

This paper describes a prototype implementing a high degree of transaction resilience in distributed software systems using a non-von neumann computing model exploiting parallelism in computing nodes. the prototype incorporates fault,configuration,accounting,performance,and security (fcaps) management using a signaling network overlay and allows the dynamic control of a set of distributed computing elements in a network. each node is a computing entity endowed with self-management and signaling capabilities to collaborate with similar nodes in a network. the separation of parallel computing and management channels allows the end-to-end transaction management of computing tasks (provided by the autonomous distributed computing elements) to be implemented as network-level fcaps management. while the new computing model is operating system agnostic,a linux,apache,mysql,php/perl/python (lamp) based services architecture is implemented in a prototype to demonstrate end-to-end transaction management with auto-scaling,self-repair,dynamic performance management and distributed transaction security assurance. the implementation is made possible by a non-von neumann middleware library providing linux process management through multi-threaded parallel execution of self-management and signaling abstractions. we did not use hypervisors,virtual machines,or layers of complex virtualization management systems in implementing this prototype. © copyright 2012 rao mikkilineni et al.
