Shared Memory NUMA Programming on I-WAY
The performance of the Global Array shared-memory nonuniform memory-access programming model is explored on the I-WAY, wide-area-network distributed supercomputer environment. The Global Array model is extended by introducing a concept of mirrored arrays. Latencies and bandwidths for remote memory access are studied, and the performance of a large application from computational chemistry is evaluated using both fully distributed and also mirrored arrays. Excellent performance can be obtained with mirroring if even modest (0.5 MB/s) network bandwidth is available.
