Title: An Efficient Open MPI Transport System for Virtual Worker
Nodes
Author(s): Timothy Hayes
Abstract:
There is increased interest in running cluster jobs
within virtual machines to provide isolation and customised
environments. For this to be successful, it is essential that
efficient transport mechanisms are available. In particular,
communication between virtual machines on the same physical host
should provide similar performance to that between multiple jobs
running on a single host. This project will implement a shared memory
transport for Open MPI that uses Xen features to provide low-latency
communication between virtual machines. Open MPI's failover features
will be used to automatically switch to other transport mechanisms
(e.g. Ethernet) when virtual machines are migrated so they no longer
share a physical host.
