Noa: a Shared Virtual Memory over a Sci Cluster
نویسنده
چکیده
| This paper presents the implementation of a Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) over a SCI cluster. We explain concepts of memory consistency and associated coherence protocols and we give a detailed overview the Lazy Release Consistency protocol. Then we describe our user level implementation of this protocol over SCI through a message-passing layer and the SVM itself. Finally, we analyze results of a rst experiment.

SCI-VM: A Flexible Base for Transparent Shared Memory Programming Models on Clusters of PCs
Clusters of PCs are traditionally programmed using the message passing paradigm as this is directly supported by their loosely coupled architecture. Shared memory programming is mostly neglected although it is commonly seen as the easier and more intuitive way of parallel programming. Based on the user-level remote memory capabilities of the Scalable Coherent Interface, this paper presents the ...
متن کاملParallel Distributed Computing on Sci Workstation Clusters: Early Experiences
Workstation and PC clusters interconnected by SCI (Scalable Coherent Interface) are very promising technologies for high performance cluster computing. Using commercial SBus-SCI interface cards and early system software and drivers, a two-SPARCstation cluster has been constructed for initial testing and evaluation. PVM direct task-to-task data transfers have been adapted to operate on this clus...

متن کاملAn OpenMP Programming Toolkit for Hybrid CPU/GPU Clusters Based on Software Unified Memory
Recently, hybrid CPU/GPU cluster has drawn much attention from the researchers of high performance computing because of amazing energy efficiency and adaptable resource exploitation. However, the programming of hybrid CPU/GPU clusters is very complex because it requires users to learn new programming interfaces such as CUDA and OpenCL, and combine them with MPI and OpenMP. To address this probl...
متن کاملA CC-NUMA Prototype Card for SCI-Based PC Clustering
It is extremely important to minimize network access time in constructing a high-performance PC cluster system. For an SCI-based PC cluster, it is possible to reduce the network access time by maintaining network cache in each cluster node. This paper presents a CCNUMA card that utilizes network cache for SCI-based PC clustering. The CC-NUMA card is directly plugged into the PCI slot of each no...
