Abstract:
The growth in the number of generally available, distributed,
heterogeneous computing systems places increasing importance on the
development of user-friendly tools that enable application
developers to efficiently use these resources. Open MPI
provides support for several aspects of heterogeneity within a
single, open-source MPI implementation. Through careful
abstractions, heterogeneous support
maintains efficient use of uniform computational platforms. We describe
Open MPI's architecture for heterogeneous network and processor support.
A key design features of this implementation is the
transparency to the application developer while maintaining very high
levels of performance. This is demonstrated with the results of
several numerical experiments.
