A unified execution model for cloud computing

Abstract

This article presents the design goals and architecture for a unified execution model (UEM) for cloud computing and clusters. The UEM combines interfaces for logical provi-sioning and distributed command execution with integrated mechanisms for establishing and maintaining communica-tion, synchronization, and control. In this paper, the UEM architecture is described, and an existing application which could benefit from its facilities is used to illustrate its value.
