- CLAM: Connection-less, Lightweight, and Multiway Communication
Support for Distributed Computing

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.

- Explicit Mangement of Memory Hierarchy

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.

- Global Arrays: A Non-Uniform-Memory-Access Programming Model For
High-Performance Computers

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.

parallel computing, including recent developments in cluster and
metacomputing. Preference will be given to papers discussing real
implementations and practical experiences.

computers to solve all types of business, industrial, scientific and
engineering problems. The emphasis should be on the impact of the
parallel processing paradigm; Section 2: Algorithms. Numerical and
non-numerical parallel algorithms, also addressing aspects of
scalability and adaptability and Section 3: System Software & Hardware
Architectures. Operating systems; compilers; techniques such as
threading, scheduling, load balancing, message passing, automatic
parallelisation; hardware architectures; communication systems;
protocols; etc.
