Abstract. Distributing process-oriented programs across a cluster of machines requires careful attention to the effects of network latency. The MPI standard, widely used for cluste...
We have been developing a Grid-enabled MPI communication library called GridMPI, which is designed to run on multiple clusters connected to a wide-area network. Some of these clust...
As the speed gap between CPU and I/O is getting wider and wider, I/O latency plays a more important role to the overall system performance than it used to be. Prefetching consecut...
