Overview
ACI ReMIX
Framework
Programming the ReMIX cluster
The ReMIX cluster is programmed through a framework. The goal is to simplify the development of indexing algorithms. It has been designed with 2 major requirements:
  • simplicity
  • reutilisability
simplicity comes from a simple master/slave execution model. Furthermore, the data distribution is explicit and static. Execution, communication and synchronization are fully handled by the programming environment.

reutilisability both takes place at a software and hardware level. The programming environment is not linked to any specific application and doesn't depend of a dedicated platform. Programs can be executed either on a single PC, a parallel machine (cluster) or a dedicated platform (ReMIX). This is particularly usefull during the debugging phase.
