Conclusion Network-attached ACs can help to address varying scaling characteristics within the same application Number of CNs and network-attached ACs is independent Distributed memory kernel functions with MPI communication can be offloaded Offloading mechanism based on MPI Comm spawn() MPIX Kernel call*() complements MPI’s spawn ⇒ Reduced kernel startup overhead Currently, work with application developers to integrate offloading
