Title: MPI Library and Low-Level Communication on the K computer

Author(s):

Naoyuki Shida, Shinji Sumimoto, Atsuya Uno

Abstract:

The key to raising application performance in a massively parallel system like the K computer is to increase the speed of communication between compute nodes. In the K computer, this inter-node communication is governed by the Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication library and low-level communication. This paper describes the implementation and performance of the MPI communication library, which exploits the new Tofu-interconnect architecture introduced in the K computer to enhance the performance of petascale applications, and low-level communication mechanism, which performs fine-grained control of the Tofu interconnect.
