Title
Overcoming Scalability Challenges for Tool Daemon Launching
Abstract
Many tools that target parallel and distributed environments must co-locate a set of daemons with the distributed processes of the target application. However, efficient and portable deployment of these daemons on large scale systems is an unsolved problem. We overcome this gap with LaunchMON, a scalable, robust, portable, secure, and general purpose infrastructure for launching tool daemons. Its API allows tool builders to identify all processes of a target job, launch daemons on the relevant nodes and control daemon interaction. Our results show that LaunchMON scales to very large daemon counts and substantially enhances performance over existing ad hoc mechanisms.
