Cluster partitioning
Currently OSCAR only support the Beowulf architecture, architecture that does not really fit with the architecture of modern clusters which are composed on file servers, compute nodes and different other service nodes. The goal of “partitioning effort” is to support such architectures, i.e., support node groups with different software configurations.
System-level virtualization support
System-level virtualization enables the creation of virtual machines on top of physical machines. This changes the way compute nodes are typically managed: a compute node is not anymore hardware with a single software configuration. Moreover, the usage of system-level virtualization requires the management of virtual machine but also of the “Host OS” which host virtual machine used for application execution.
