Implementation and Analysis of Asynchronous UDP over Myrinet
نویسندگان
چکیده
To achieve high-speed communication, it is well-known that the per-byte overhead needs to be minimized. The advances of gigabit networks highlight the importance of so-called lightweight primitives in order to utilize the available bandwidth. Asynchronous UDP [1] is one of such primitives proposed recently. This paper evaluates Asynchronous UDP over Myrinet. We describe the design and implementation on Linux and Myrinet MCP. The results of performance measurements show that Asynchronous UDP is faster than the optimized UDP of Linux up to 45 percents.

Implementing TreadMarks over GM on Myrinet: Challenges, Design Experience, and Performance Evaluation
Software based DSM systems like TreadMarks have traditionally not performed well compared to message passing applications because of the high overhead of communication associated with traditional stack based protocols like UDP. Modern interconnects like Myrinet offer reliable message delivery with very low communication overhead through user level protocols. This paper examines the viability of...
متن کاملBenchmarking and Analysis of the User-Perceived Perform- ance of TCP/UDP over Myrinet
This paper is a report of the benchmarking result of the user-perceived performance of TCP/IP over Myrinet, and an analysis of the performance bottlenecks. In this paper, we first present an overview of Myrinet, then report the result of our benchmarking result. We give an interpretation of the performance data, and further analyze them with respect to the memory subsystem, CPU speed and the sp...
متن کاملMXIbis: Ibis-based Communication over Myrinet Express
The Ibis project aims at creating an efficient Javabased software platform for distributed computing. Within this project, the Ibis Portability Layer offers a platform-independent communication interface for distributed applications. Currently, Java (and thus: Ibis) only supports communication using the widely available TCP and UDP network protocols. As a consequence, Ibis-based communication o...
متن کاملAnalysis and Enhancement of Pipelining the Protocol Overheads for a High Throughput
This paper investigates the protocol overhead pipelining between the host and network interface card (NIC). Existing researches into the protocol overhead pipelining assume that protocol overheads in the host and NIC can be naturally pipelined. Our architecture-aware investigation, however, finds a new fact that the host and NIC compete against each other to access the host memory, system bus, ...
متن کاملHLA RTI Performance in High Speed LAN Environments
This paper presents recent results concerning the realization of HLA RTIs in high-speed LAN environments. Specifically, the UK-RTI and a second, simplified RTI implementation were realized on a cluster of Sun workstations using Myrinet, a gigabit, low-latency interconnection switch developed by Myricomm Inc. The performance of these implementations was compared with the UK-RTI and version 1.3 o...
