 | The Active Nodal Task Seeking (ANTS) approach to the design of multicomputer systems is named for its basic component: an Active Nodal Task- Seeker (ANT). An ANTS multicomputer system can achieve a mean time to failure of more than 20 years. In this final report, we present the many findings during the project duration. First, the first version of ANTS kernel has been implemented on a network of UNIX workstations. ... |

| The Active Nodal Task Seeking (ANTS) concept uses a completely decentralized approach in which each computing node is an active member of the system. This not only avoids the possible critical region in favor of a dependable computing, but also provides an adaptable, distributed resource management that can explore the full potential in computational power of the system. This paper describes the dependable distributed scheduling of the ANTS approach in ... |

| The ANTS project at the University of Rhode Island introduces the concept of Active Nodal Task Seeking (ANTS) as a way to efficiently design and implement dependable, high-performance, distributed computing. This paper presents the fault tolerant design features that have been incorporated in the ANTS experimental system implementation. The results of performance evaluations and fault injection experiments are reported. The fault-tolerant version of ANTS categorizes all computing nodes into three ... |

| The Active Nodal Task Seeking(ANTS) approach to the design of multicomputer systems is named for its basic component: an Active Nodal Task- Seeker(ANT). In this system, there is no load balancing or load sharing, instead, each ANT computing node is actively finding out how it can contribute to the execution of the needed tasks. A run-time partition is established such that some of the ANT computing nodes are under exhaustive ... |
