Implementation and Shared-Memory Evaluation of MPICH2 over the Nemesis Communication Subsystem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the implementation of MPICH2 over the Nemesis communication subsystem and the evaluation of its sharedmemory performance. We describe design issues as well as some of the optimization techniques we employed. We conducted a performance evaluation over shared memory using microbenchmarks as well as application benchmarks. The evaluation shows that MPICH2 Nemesis has very low communication overhead, making it suitable for smaller-grained applications.

متن کاملA uGNI-Based MPICH2 Nemesis Network Module for Cray XE Computer Systems
Recent versions of MPICH2 have featured Nemesis a scalable, high-performance, multi-network communication subsystem. Nemesis provides a framework for developing Network Modules (Netmods) for interfacing the Nemesis subsystem to various high speed network protocols. Cray has developed a User-Level Generic Network Interface (uGNI) for interfacing MPI implementations to the internal high speed net...
متن کاملA Portable InfiniBand Module for MPICH2/Nemesis: Design and Evaluation
With the emergence of multi-core-based processors, it is becoming significantly important to optimize both intra-node and inter-node communication in an MPI stack. MPICH2 group has recently introduced a new Nemesis-based MPI stack which provides highly optimized design for intra-node communication. It also provides modular design for different inter-node networks. Currently, the MPICH2/Nemesis ...
متن کاملMPICH2: A New Start for MPI Implementations
This talk will describe MPICH2, an all-new implementation of MPI designed to support both MPI-1 and MPI-2 and to enable further research into MPI implementation technology. To achieve high-performance and scalability and to encourage experimentation, the design of MPICH2 is strongly modular. For example, the MPI topology routines can easily be replaced by implementations tuned to a specific env...
متن کاملLocality and Topology Aware Intra-node Communication among Multicore CPUs
A major trend in HPC is the escalation toward manycore, where systems are composed of shared memory nodes featuring numerous processing units. Unfortunately, with scale comes complexity, here in the form of non-uniform memory accesses and cache hierarchies. For most HPC applications, harnessing the power of multicores is hindered by the topology oblivious tuning of the MPI library. In this pape...
