System and method for submitting and performing computational tasks in a distributed heterogeneous networked environment. Embodiments may allow tasks to be submitted and run in parallel on a network of heterogeneous computers implementing a variety of operating environments. In one embodiment, a user on an originating node may advertise code on the network. Peer nodes that respond to the advertisement may receive the code. A job to be executed by the code may be split into separate tasks to distributed to the peer nodes that received the code. These tasks may be advertised on the network. Tasks may be assigned to peer nodes that respond to the task advertisements. The peer nodes may then work on the assigned tasks. Once a peer node's work on a task is completed, the peer node may return the results of the task to the originating node.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for generating an interconnection network. During operation, the system associates an n-bit binary identifier with each node in the interconnection network. The system also groups the n bits of each binary identifier into h overlapping sets a1, a2, . . . ah, wherein the sets a1, a2, . . . ah cover all of the n bits. For each set ai, the system forms fully connected clusters of nodes by creating a direct point-to-point link between any two nodes that have binary identifiers that differ in bits of the set a1 but are the same in other bit positions. Note that by varying the amount of overlap and the pattern of overlap between the overlapping sets, a1, a2, . . . ah, the interconnection network can be configured to accommodate different redundancy requirements.

Embodiments of a system that includes an array of chip modules (CMs) is described. In this system, a given CM in the array includes a semiconductor die that is configured to communicate data signals with one or more adjacent CMs through electromagnetic proximity communication using proximity connectors. Note that the proximity connectors are proximate to a surface of the semiconductor die. Moreover, the given CM is configured to communicate optical signals with other CMs through an optical signal path using optical communication, and the optical signals are encoded using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM).

A system for binary code instrumentation to reduce effective memory latency comprises a processor and memory coupled to the processor. The memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor to implement a code analyzer configured to analyze an instruction stream of compiled code executable at an execution engine to identify, for a given memory reference instruction in the stream that references data at a memory address calculated during an execution of the instruction stream, an earliest point in time during the execution at which sufficient data is available at the execution engine to calculate the memory address. The code analyzer generates an indication of whether the given memory reference instruction is suitable for a prefetch operation based on a difference in time between the earliest point in time and a time at which the given memory reference instruction is executed during the execution.

Embodiments of a system that includes an array of single-chip modules (CMs) are described. This array includes a first CM, a second CM coupled to the first CM, and a third CM coupled to the second CM. A given CM, which can be the first CM, the second CM or the third CM, includes a semiconductor die that is configured to communicate data signals with other CMs through electromagnetically coupled proximity communication. These proximity connectors are proximate to a surface of the semiconductor die. Moreover, the first CM and the third CM are configured to optically communicate optical signals with each other via the second CM through an optical signal path.

System and method for the unique naming of resources in networked environments including peer-to-peer network environments. Embodiments may be used to generate network resource identifiers that uniquely identify resources such as processes over time and across the networked environment. One embodiment may be implemented as a resource name generator that generates unique identifiers for resources in networked environments. One embodiment may generate unique network resource identifiers for processes from information including, but not limited to, a host address that uniquely identifies on the network the host machine of the resource for which the unique network resource identifier is being generated, a current time (e.g. obtained from the host machine or alternatively from an external source such as an atomic time server), and a process identifier of the process that uniquely identifies the process among current processes on the host machine.
