چکیده
We describe the use of MPI for writing system software and tools, an area where it has not been previously applied. By “system software” we mean collections of tools used for system management and operations. We describe the common methodologies used for system software development, together with our experiences in implementing three items of system software with MPI. We demonstrate that MPI can bring significant performance and other benefits to system software.

متن کاملRemote Shared Memory over Sun Fire Link Interconnect
The interconnection networks and the communication system software in clusters of multiprocessors are critical to achieving high performance. Recently, Sun Microsystems has introduced a new system area network, Sun Fire Link interconnect, for its Sun Fire cluster systems with some performance results at the MPI level. Sun Fire Link is a memory-based interconnect with layered system software com...
متن کاملOverview of the MPI Standard and Implementations
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) has become a standard for message passing parallel applications. This report first introduces the underlying paradigm, message passing, and explores some of the challenges explicit message passing poses for developing parallel programs. We then take a closer look at the MPI standardization effort, its goals, and its results to see what features the current ve...
