Cray XT

Abstract:
Open MPI was initially designed to support a wide variety
of high-performance networks and network programming interfaces.
Recently, Open MPI was enhanced to support networks that have full
support for MPI matching semantics. Previous Open MPI efforts focused
on networks that require the MPI library to manage message matching,
which is sub-optimal for some networks that inherently support
matching. We describes a new matching transport layer in Open MPI,
present results of micro-benchmarks and several applications on the
Cray XT platform, and compare performance of the new and the existing
transport layers, as well as the vendor-supplied implementation of
MPI.
