The MPI implementation on NetVM Gu, Yanping
Abstract
Advances in network technology now allow an application to reliably transfer data to a remote node without remote CPU intervention. It removes the communication overhead of traditional operating systems by allowing the sender to directly write to the memory of a remote node. However, translating remote memory semantics into standard stream-oriented interfaces like MPI is challenging. In this thesis we demonstrate the possibility and efficiency of using the remote memory technology as the underlying communication system in our implementation of MPI. Our performance results show significantly improvement on both microbenchmarks and real-world applications compared to LAM over Myrinet. The remote memory model is shown to be powerful in implementing MPI semantics.

Advances in network technology now allow an application to reliably transfer data
to a remote node without remote CPU intervention. It removes the communication
overhead of traditional operating systems by allowing the sender to directly write to
the memory of a remote node. However, translating remote memory semantics into
standard stream-oriented interfaces like MPI is challenging. In this thesis we demonstrate
the possibility and efficiency of using the remote memory technology as the
underlying communication system in our implementation of MPI. Our performance
results show significantly improvement on both microbenchmarks and real-world
applications compared to LAM over Myrinet. The remote memory model is shown
to be powerful in implementing MPI semantics.
