Multicast is an important collective operation for parallel programs. Some Network Interface Cards (NICs), such as Myrinet, have programmable processors that can be programmed to ...
MPI is the de-facto standard for message passing in parallel scientific applications. MPI-IO is a part of the MPI-2 specification defining file I/O operations in the MPI world....
Recently, audio and video delivery services are widely spread in the Internet. In order to deliver these data to multiple receivers at the same time, the multicast technologies ar...
Resource and service discovery, data transfer or replica management, are some examples of basic operations of a grid which can gain efficiency by using multicast transmission tech...
Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the differ...
