A New Software Architecture for the BIP/Myrinet Firmware
CCGRID '01: Proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid

BIP [5] is a low level communication layer for the Myrinet network which includes a dedicated firmware. We identified several flaws in the design of this firmware and based on our experience decided to rethink it. Our goal is to better use the hardware ...
Message Proxies for Efficient, Protected Communication on SMP Clusters
HPCA '97: Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture

This research addresses the problem of providing efficient, protected communication in an SMP cluster without incurring the overhead of system calls or the cost of custom hardware. It analyzes an approach that uses an idle SMP processor to run a message ...
Optimizing Collective Communications on SMP Clusters
ICPP '05: Proceedings of the 2005 International Conference on Parallel Processing

We describe a generic programming model to design collective communications on SMP clusters. The programming model utilizes shared memory for collective communications and overlapping inter-node/intra-node communications, both of which are normally ...
