Design and Implementation of Virtual Memory-Mapped Communication on Myrinet

by Cezary Dubnicki, Angelos Bilas, Kai Li, James Philbin - In Proceedings of the 1997 International Parallel Processing Symposium , 1997
"... This paper describes the design and implementation of the virtual memory-mapped communication model(VMMC) on a Myrinet network of PCI-based PCs. VMMC has been designed and implemented for the SHRIMP multicomputer where it delivers user-to-user latency and bandwidth close to the limits imposed by the ..."

PVFS: A Parallel File System For Linux Clusters

by Philip H. Carns, Walter B. Ligon, III, Robert B. Ross, Rajeev Thakur - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 4TH ANNUAL LINUX SHOWCASE AND CONFERENCE , 2000
"... As Linux clusters have matured as platforms for low-cost, high-performance parallel computing, software packages to provide many key services have emerged, especially in areas such as message passing and networking. One area devoid of support, however, has been parallel file systems, which are criti ..."

in parallel I/O and parallel file systems for Linux clusters. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of PVFS and present performance results on the Chiba City cluster at Argonne. We provide performance results for a workload of concurrent reads and writes for various numbers of compute nodes

BIP: a new protocol designed for high performance networking on Myrinet

by Loic Prylli, Bernard Tourancheau - In Workshop PC-NOW, IPPS/SPDP98 , 1998
"... Abstract. High speed networks are now providing incredible performances. Software evolution is slow and the old protocol stacks are no longer adequate for these kind of communication speed. When bandwidth increases, the latency should decrease as much in order to keep the system balance. With the cu ..."

. With the current network technology, the main bottleneck is most of the time the software that makes the interface between the hardware and the user. We designed and implemented new protocols of transmission targeted to parallel computing that squeeze the most out of the high speed Myrinet network, without wasting

Virtual Network Transport Protocols for Myrinet

by Brent N. Chun, Alan M. Mainwaring, David E. Culler - IEEE MICRO , 1997
"... This paper describes a protocol for a general-purpose cluster communication system that supports multiprogramming with virtual networks, direct and protected network access, reliable message delivery using message timeouts and retransmissions, a powerful return-to-send error model for applications, ..."

, and automatic network mapping. The protocols use simple, low-cost mechanisms that exploit properties of our interconnect without limiting flexibility, usability or robustness. We have implemented the protocols in an active message communication system that runs a network of 100 Sun UltraSPARC workstations

Boosting the Performance of Myrinet Networks

by José Flich, Pedro López, M. P. Malumbres, Jose Duato - IEEE Trans. Parallel and Distributed Systems , 2002
"... Abstract—Networks of workstations (NOWs) are becoming increasingly popular as a cost-effective alternative to parallel computers. These networks allow the customer to connect processors using irregular topologies, providing the wiring flexibility, scalability, and incremental expansion capability re ..."

behavior on both networks with regular and irregular topologies. The proposed scheme can be implemented on Myrinet networks by only modifying the MCP, without changing the network hardware. We evaluate by simulation several networks with different traffic patterns using timing parameters taken from

LFC: A Communication Substrate for Myrinet

by R.A.F. Bhoedjang, T. Rühl, H.E. Bal , 1998
"... LFC is a new, low-level communication substrate for Myrinet, designed to support the development of high-performance communication software for parallel systems. LFC is novel in two ways. First, it exploits Myrinet's programmablenetwork interface (NI) to implement flow control, forward multicas ..."

Implementing Protected Multi-User Communication for Myrinet

by Shailabh Nagar, Dale Seed - In Lecture Notes in Computer Science , 1998
"... Abstract. A Network of Workstations (NOW) is emerging as a costeffective solution to high performance computing. However, we need to lower the cost of communicating between the workstations to make this platform viable. With the advent of high-performance networks such as ATM and Myrinet, the physic ..."

Current issues in available MPI implementations on Myrinet

by Loïc Prylli, Roland Westrelin
"... This paper is meant to present the implementations of MPI available for Myrinet, their main features and limitations. It provides both an insight view, presenting the key points in their software architecture, and then an user point of view, evaluating their performance through simple benchmarks. 1 ..."
