چکیده

We present a communication library to improve performance of PVM. The new library introduces communication primitives based on Active Messages. We propose a hybrid scheme that includes a signal driven message notiication scheme plus controlled polling. The new communication library is tested along with the normal PVM library to assess the improvement in performance.

Improving PVM Performance Using ATOMIC User-Level Protocol

Parallel virtual machine (PVM) software system provides a programming environment that allows a collection of networked workstations to appear as a single concurrent computational resource. The performance of parallel applications in this environment depends on the performance of reliable data transfers between tasks. In this paper, we improve PVM communication performance over the ATOMIC LAN, ...

Optimization of PVM Based on a User-level Communication Protocol

With the introduction of high-performance Myrinet interconnection technology, building PVM on top of Myrinet has been a popular tread to improve its communication performance. There are generally two approaches to improve the efficiency of PVM: one approach is to emulate TCP/IP interface in low-level messaging layers, and base PVM on the new TCP/IP stack. The other approach is to redesign and o...
