DECK-SCI: High-Performance Communication and Multithreading for SCI Clusters

This paper presents the design and implementation of DECK-SCI, a multithreaded communication library that fully exploits the high-performance capabilities of the SCI technology. We compare DECK-SCI, in terms of performance, to a commercially distributed MPI implementation and to a freely available MPICH distribution, both specifically designed for SCI clusters.
