Application-Specific Communication Systems for Clusters

Application-Specific Communication Systems for Clusters

Several communication systems that claim to support high performance computing in clusters focus on “the best” solution for a given host/network architecture. However, a definitive best solution, independently of how fine-tuned to the underlying hardware it is, cannot exist, whereas parallel applica...

In this paper, we describe a design method that enables the construction of communication systems as an assemblage of adaptable components that can be configured to closely match the demands of given applications.
