Management of Non-functional Attributes of Parallel Components

In this paper, we present an extension to the CCA component architecture. The extension defined a minimal set of non-functional attributes of parallel components. We havea implemented the common CCA components for the management of these attributes. Parallel components can provide some non-functional interfaces optionally. And they provide related information to the common components through these interfaces. For the optimization of parallel components implementations, the component developer should implement the attributes management parts specific to certain parallel components. The tests of the management of six of them show that our management mechanism can improves the performance of parallel components. And the test of management of the other three shows that this is an easy way of controlling parallel component execution. And it is very efficient. A real application test shows the practicability of our proposal.
