cient Parallel Computing on Workstation Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present novel hardand software that e ciently implements communication primitives for parallel execution on workstation clusters. We provide low communication latencies, minimal protocol, zero operating system overhead, and high throughput. With this technology, it is possible to build e ective parallel systems using o -the-shelf workstations. Our goal is to develop a standard interfaceboard and the necessary software for interfacing any number of computers, from a workstation to a cabinet full of workstation-boards.

cient MPI for Virtual Interface ( VI ) Architecture
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 Ar...
متن کاملSupporting parallel computing on a distributed object architecture
The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors is making the usage of clusters, or networks, of computers an appealing platform for cost eective parallel computing. However, the ease of developing ecient high-performance parallel software to exploit these platforms presents a major challenge. Advances in distributed object software technology have ...
متن کاملApproaches to Support Parallel Programming on Workstation Clusters: A Survey
The goal of this report is to survey state of the art and existing approaches for parallel programming on workstation clusters with special emphasis on object{oriented programming. First, workstation clusters as parallel computing platforms are characterized and fundamental concepts for parallel programming are discussed. Then, an overview of existing tools, systems, languages, and environments...
متن کاملRedistribution , Median Finding , and Selection ( Preliminary Draft )
A common statistical problem is that of nding the median element in a set of data. This paper presents a fast and portable parallel algorithm for nding the median given a set of elements distributed across a parallel machine. In fact, our algorithm solves the general selection problem that requires the determination of the element of rank i, for an arbitrarily given integer i. Practical algorit...
