Abstract:
This paper describes different approaches to build faster message passing routes into PVM. One of the recent efforts is to use shared memory based channels to replace the socket-based routes between the PVM daemon and its local tasks. Another effort is the constructing of a new route named PvmRouteAtm to exploit the bandwidth of an ATM network based on the socket-like application programming interface (API) from Fore Systems. Test results show that better performance has been reached with PvmRouteAtm compared with that of using PvmRouteDirect. The shared memory effort failed to gain performance due to reasons such as context switching and slow semaphore operations. The second effort is the main topic in this paper.
