DataExchange: High Performance Communications in Distributed Laboratories

Current communications tools and libraries for high performance computing are designed for platforms and applications that exhibit relatively stable computational and communication characteristics. In contrast, the demands of (1) mixed environments in which high performance applications interact with multiple end users, visualizations, storage engines, and I/O engines { termed `distributed laboratories' in our research { and (2) high performance collaborative computing applications in general, exhibit additional complexities in terms of dynamic behaviors. This paper explores the communication requirements of distributed laboratories, and it describes the DataExchange communication infrastructure supporting their high performance interactive and collaborative applications.
