1、The Common Component Architecture and XCAT,Indiana University Extreme! Lab,What is a Component Architecture?,A systematic way of encapsulating special functionality and behaviors of a piece of software into reusable units. More than an object model. It defines the rules for the way objects can be in

2、stantiated and composed. It defines the environment of services that a component can use. It defines the way in which we discover how to interact with them.,Isnt this what a subroutine library does?,Subroutine libraries or class libraries have well defined interfaces encapsulate functionality But ar

3、e often hard to reuse because they often have complex resource requirements make conflicting assumptions about their operating environments. Subroutine libraries that follow very strict sets of design and use rules get reused. Above all else, a component architecture is framework of standard rules o

8、Filter(Filter),calls doFFT(),Provides Ports - interfaces functions provided by component,Uses Ports - interface of a service used by component,How do you “compose” two components?,There are three basic approaches: Events: A component can generate an “event” of a particular type. Other components are

9、 added as “listeners” for such events from that component. Services: A source component “uses” services “provided” by a target components. “use” = calls a function provided by the target. Dataflow: A typed data “output” stream is connected to a similarly typed “input” port of another. In XCAT all th

10、ree are supported. The services model is the basic mechanism. Dataflow is emulated in CCA by “pushing” data from a user to a provider, or by having a user “pull” data from a provider. Events are managed by a separate mechanism.,Acme FFT component,Building Applications by Composition,Connect uses Por

12、r. A provides port is simply an implementation in the component of the interface defined by the port type (interface defn.). A Uses port is a “proxy” that a component “uses” to make a request of another component.,Source Component,Target Component,A Provides port,A uses port,How do you describe the

13、interfaces a port has?,Standard Methods: Use an Interface Definition Language - a formal description of the interface objects. CORBA IDL is one. The LLNL Scientific IDL by Scott Kohn, Andrew Cleary, Steven Smith, and Brent Smolinski is better for CCA. A simple IDL compiler can be used to automatical

14、ly generate the Uses and Provides Port code for a specific IDL type. For the XCAT java version the interface of a component port are defined as Java interfaces.,Component Communication,Use a simple Remote Procedure Call MechanismXSOAP Implementation of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)Performance
