A Comparison of Three High Speed Networks for Parallel Cluster Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many high speed networks have been developed that may be suitable for parallel computing on clusters of workstations. This paper compares three different networks: FastEthernet, ATM, and Myrinet. We have implemented the Panda portability layer on all three networks, using the same host machines and as much the same software as possible. We compare the latency and throughput for Panda’s point-to-point and multicast communication on the three networks and analyze the performance differences.

متن کاملPerformance Comparison of different High-Speed Networks with a Uniform Efficient Programming Interface
The communication network and its interface are an important factor for the performance of modern cluster computing systems. During the last years, several new approaches were developed which yield higher bandwidth and lower latency than traditional alternatives. However, applications often can exploit the performance of the underlying network only by using specially tuned programming interface...
متن کاملPrediction of true critical temperature and pressure of binary hydrocarbon mixtures: A Comparison between the artificial neural networks and the support vector machine
Two main objectives have been considered in this paper: providing a good model to predict the critical temperature and pressure of binary hydrocarbon mixtures, and comparing the efficiency of the artificial neural network algorithms and the support vector regression as two commonly used soft computing methods. In order to have a fair comparison and to achieve the highest efficiency, a comprehen...
