Identifying Logical Homogeneous Clusters for Efficient Wide-Area Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, many works focus on the implementation of collective communication operations adapted to wide area computational systems, like computational Grids or global-computing. Due to the inherently heterogeneity of such environments, most works separate"clusters"in different hierarchy levels. to better model the communication. However, in our opinion, such works do not give enough attention to the delimitation of such clusters, as they normally use the locality or the IP subnet from the machines to delimit a cluster without verifying the"homogeneity"of such clusters. In this paper, we describe a strategy to gather network information from different local-area networks and to construct"logical homogeneous clusters", better suited to the performance modelling.

متن کاملThe Albatross Project: Parallel Application Support for Computational Grids
The aim of the Albatross project is to study applications and programming environments for computational grids consisting of multiple clusters that are connected by wide-area networks. Parallel processing on such systems is useful but challenging, given the large differences in latency and bandwidth between LANs and WANs. We provide efficient algorithms and programming environments that exploit...

One of the most important collective communication patterns used in scientific applications is the complete exchange, also called All-to-All. Although efficient algorithms have been studied for specific networks, general solutions like those available in well-known MPI distributions (e.g. the MPI Alltoall operation) are strongly influenced by the congestion of network resources. In this paper w...
متن کاملFast and Efficient Total Exchange on Two Clusters
Total Exchange is one of the most important collective communication patterns for scientific applications. In this paper we propose an algorithm called LG for the total exchange redistribution problem between two clusters. In our approach we perform communications in two different phases, aiming to minimize the number of communication steps through the wide-area network. Therefore, we are able ...
