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.

Design Optimization of Discrete Structures Using MPI-enabled Genetic Algorithm Rajan and Nguyen 1 Design Optimization of Discrete Structural Systems Using MPI-enabled Genetic Algorithm

The focus of this paper is on the development and implementation of a genetic algorithm (GA)–based software system using message passing interface (MPI) protocol and library. A customized and improved form of simple GA used in previous research [14] is parallelized. This MPI-enabled version is used to find the solution to finite element based design optimization problems in a network of worksta...

Overview 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...
