چکیده
E cient Message Passing Interface implementations for emerging cluster interconnects are an important requirement for useful parallel processing on cost-e ective clusters of NT workstations. This paper reports on a new implementation of MPI for VI Architecture networks. Support for high bandwidth, low latency, and low overhead are considered, as is the match of the MPI speci cation to the VI Architecture features. The ability to o er thread safety, computation and communication overlapping, optimized protocols, and full MPI progress are highlighted.

متن کاملAchieving Quality of Service Communication on Distributed Shared Memory System by Better API Design and Implementation
Parallel applications, emerging in the last several years, require high-performance communication and computation systems, and have additionally placed stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements on programming environments. Especially with the introduction of new communication protocols for cluster computing such as Virtual Interface (VI) architecture, the design and implementation of an e...
متن کاملVI architecture communication features and performance on the Giganet cluster LAN
The virtual interface (VI) architecture standard was developed to satisfy the need for a high throughput, low latency communication system required for cluster computing. VI architecture aims to close the performance gap between the bandwidths and latencies provided by the communication hardware and visible to the application, respectively, by minimizing the software overhead on the critical pa...
متن کاملAn MPI Implementation on the Top of the Virtual Interface Architecture
This paper describes an implementation of the LAM MPI suite on the top of the Virtual Interface Architecture. The Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) is an emerging standard designed by Intel, Microsoft, and Compaq aimed at the reduction of communication latency for cluster of workstations or system area networks. Thanks to M-VIA, a Linux software module that emulates VIA and provides programm...
متن کاملA VIA support for the LAM/MPI suite?
The increasing use of System Area Network (SAN) to interconnect cluster’s nodes, for a number of applications ranging from database to numerical computation, has boosted interest in network research. The most used network protocol (TCP/IP) is unable to take fully advantage of SAN features such as low error rates or more performant network hardware. Recently, a consortium leaded by Microsoft, Co...
