Evaluating Dynamic Communicators and One-Sided Operations for Current MPI Libraries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we evaluate the current status and performance of several MPI implementations regarding two chapters of the MPI-2 specification. First, we analyze whether the performance using dynamically created communicators is comparable to the approach presented in MPI-1 using a static communicator for different MPI libraries. We then evaluate whether the communication performance of one-sided communication on current machines represents a benefit or a disadvantage to the end-user compared to the more conventional two-sided communication.

Dynamic Communicators in MPI
This paper describes a proposal to add support for dynamic communicators to the MPI standard. This adds the ability to grow or shrink a specified communicator, under well specified circumstances. The goal is to make it possible for a new class of applications longrunning, mission-critical, loosely coupled applications, running in a highly dynamic environment to use MPI libraries for their commu...
متن کاملNoncollective Communicator Creation in MPI
MPI communicators abstract communication operations across application modules, facilitating seamless composition of different libraries. In addition, communicators provide the ability to form groups of processes and establish multiple levels of parallelism. Traditionally, communicators have been collectively created in the context of the parent communicator. The recent thrust toward systems at...
متن کاملInter-communicator Extensions to MPI in the MPIX
MPI is the new standard for multicomputer and cluster message passing introduced by the Message-Passing Interface Forum (MPIF) in April 1994. This paper describes the current inter-communicator interface found in MPI and the reasons for its current design. We also motivate the need for additional inter-communicator operations and introduce the extensions we have included in MPIX (MPI eXtension ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Key Proposed MPI-3 One-Sided Communication Semantics on InfiniBand
Simultaneous use of powerful system components is important for applications to achieve maximum performance on modern clusters. MPI-2 had introduced onesided communication model that enables for better communication and computation overlap. However, studies have shown limitations of this model both in the context of applications and higher-level libraries. As part of MPI-3 effort, the Remote Me...
متن کاملMPI-2 One-Sided Usage and Implementation for Read Modify Write Operations: A Case Study with HPCC
MPI-2’s one-sided communication interface has become prevalent in scientific applications. One of the important operations in a one sided model is read-modifywrite. MPI-2 semantics provide MPI Put, MPI Get and MPI Accumulate operations which can be used to implement the read-modify-write functionality. The different strategies yield varying performance benefits depending on the underlying one-s...
