The System Research Team (SRT), led by Dr. Stephen L. Scott, consists of ORNL computer scientists from the Computer Science Research Group. The SRT is formed to specifically focus on research and development of operating systems, system libraries, and tools for addressing new issues and challenges in large-scale High Performance Computing (HPC) environment.
SRT is also breaking new ground in research on system-level virtualization for HPC. Some topics currently under investigation include VM scheduling, performance isolation, flexible configuration, VMs managements, and VMM by-pass.
These activities have led to numerous publications, organizing workshops and conferences, and software releases.
