....at hardware installation time. The communication interface between the host and the compute nodes is different from the one used to communicate between compute and I O nodes. Many other systems exist that use a host computer to control a set of compute nodes. Examples are Thinking Machines CM 5 [24], Intel s iPSC [13] and a multitude of research systems, such as Carnegie Mellon s C.mmp [32] In all these systems, the compute partition can grow to meet increasing demands, but a single host remains responsible for the control and access of the whole machine. The Intel Paragon was one of the ....

....do overlap. Evaluating communication costs is much harder than for computation costs, and this for many reasons: ffl State of the art DMPCs have dedicated routing facilities, so that the distance of a communication might be less important than the number of conflicts on communication links [4, 6, 20]. ffl Even in a simple case like the tree example, the size of the communications depends upon the distribution of the array and the alignment. Therefore we assume that communication costs are fixed parameters that might be calculated according to some intricate formula, where important ....
