CLAM: Connection-less, Lightweight, and Multiway Communication Support for Distributed Computing by Juan Carlos Gomez, Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA; Vernon Rego, Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA and Vaidy Sunderam <vss@mathcs.emory.edu>, Math and CS Department, Emory University, USA. ABSTRACT: A number of factors motivate and favor the implementation of communication protocols in user-space. There is a particularly strong motivation for the provision of scalable, multiway and connectionless transport for distributed computing, multimedia, and conferencing applications. This is also true of high speed networking, where it is beneficial to keep the OS kernel out of the critical path in communication. User-space protocol implementations may hold the key to optimal functionality and performance. We describe the Connectionless, Lightweight and Multiway (CLAM) communications system which provides efficient and scalable user-space support for distributed applications requiring multiple protocols. The system supports heterogeneous networked applications with irregular or asynchronous communication patterns and multimodal data. We focus on motivating and describing the CLAM architecture and present some experimental results that evaluate an specific protocol module inside this architecture.

/parallel/libraries/memory/global-array/nato.ps.gz
Explicit Mangement of Memory Hierarchy by Jaroslaw Nieplocha <j_nieplocha@pnl.gov>, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA 99352, USA; Robert J. Harrison <rj_harrison@pnl.gov>, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA 99352, USA and Ian Foster <itf@mcs.anl.gov>, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439, USA. ABSTRACT: All scalable parallel computers feature a memory hierarchy, in which some locations are ``closer'' to a particular processor than others. The hardware in a particular system may support a shared memory or message passing programming model, but these factors effect only the relative costs of local and remote accesses, not the system's fundamental Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) characteristics. Yet while the efficient management of memory hierarchies is fundamental to high performance in scientific computing, existing parallel languages and tools provide only limited support for this management task. Recognizing this deficiency, we propose abstractions and programming tools that can facilitate the explicit management of memory hierarchies by the programmer, and hence the efficient programming of scalable parallel computers. The abstractions comprise local arrays, global (distributed) arrays, and disk resident arrays located on secondary storage. The tools comprise the Global Arrays library, which supports the transfer of data between local and global arrays, and the Disk Resident Arrays (DRA) library, for transferring data between global and disk resident arrays. We describe the shared memory NUMA model implemented in the tools, discuss extensions for wide area computing environments, and review major applications of the tools, which currently total over one million lines of code.
/parallel/libraries/memory/global-array/tjs.ps.gz
Global Arrays: A Non-Uniform-Memory-Access Programming Model For High-Performance Computers by Jaroslaw Nieplocha <j_nieplocha@pnl.gov>, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA 99352, USA; Robert J. Harrison <rj_harrison@pnl.gov>, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA 99352, USA and Richard J. Littlefield. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA. ABSTRACT: Portability, efficiency, and ease of coding are all important considerations in choosing the programming model for a scalable parallel application. The message-passing programming model is widely used because of its portability, yet some applications are too complex to code in it while also trying to maintain a balanced computation load and avoid redundant computations. The shared-memory programming model simplifies coding, but it is not portable and often provides little control over interprocessor data transfer costs. This paper describes an approach, called Global Arrays (GA), that combines the better features of both other models, leading to both simple coding and efficient execution. The key concept of GA is that it provides a portable interface through which each process in a MIMD parallel program can asynchronously access logical blocks of physically distributed matrices, with no need for explicit cooperation by other processes. We have implemented GA libraries on a variety of computer systems, including the Intel DELTA and Paragon, the IBM SP-1 and SP-2 (all message-passers), the Kendall Square KSR-1/2, Convex SPP-1200(nonuniform access shared-memory machines), the Cray T3D (a globally-addressable distributed-memory computer) and networks of Unix workstations. We discuss the design and implementation of these libraries, report their performance, illustrate the use of GA in the context of computational chemistry applications, and describe the use of a GA performance visualization tool.
