Performance of Pvm on a Highly Parallel Transputer System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although PVM was developed to use a network of heterogeneous UNIX computers as a single large parallel computer, it has become an interface for portable programming even on MPP's. We present PVM performance results for a massively parallel transputer system with up to 512 processors. In comparison to an implementation of the same application in the native transputer operating system Parix, we realized about 30% performance loss for the PVM application. This is mainly caused by restrictions in the process model and the less eecient communication of PVM in comparison to Parix.

Analogous to the shift from assembler language programming to the thirdgeneration languages in the early years of computer science, we are currently witnessing a paradigm change towards the use of portable programming models in parallel high-performance computing. Like before, the use of a high-level programming environment must be paid for by a reduced system performance. But how much does por...
