Title |
Design-space exploration of most-recent-only communication using myrinet on SGI ccNUMA architectures |
Date |
1999 |
Description |
SGI's current ccNUMA multiprocessor architectures offer high scalability and performance without sacrificing the ease of use of simpler SMP systems. Although these systems also provide a standard PCI expansion bus, the bridging between PCI and SGI's ccNUMA architecture invalidates the assumptions typically made by network protocol designers attempting to use Myrinet to reduce communications latencies. We explore the complications introduced by SGI's architecture in the context of designing most-recent-only communications, in which a reader requires only the most recent datum produced by a writer. |
