Abstract:

In this paper, we examine and characterize effects of communication interactions of parallel and sequential jobs on a nondedicated ATM network of workstations. We quantitatively model the interaction process and measure communication delays of parallel jobs caused by the interaction. In addition, a scheme is proposed to distinguish and prioritize the two types of communications messages to reduce the disturbance of sequential jobs ' communications on the communication performance of parallel jobs. Measurement and simulation results on an ATM network of workstations support our analytical models and the scheme. Keywords: Communication, networks of workstations (NOW), parallel processing, TCP/IP.
