LAM: An Open Cluster Environment for MPI

摘要: LAM is a parallel software environment with history. The most recent episode MPI (Message-Passing Interface) [1], the standard library definition for messagepassing communication. A long overdue as many new programmers discover that explicit data transfer clear synchronization can be an effective way to get something done computers. anticipates day when libraries (probably refitted objects) exploiting multiple computing resources will ubiquitous. Delivering potentially complex, well behaved and portable requires more than functions send receive message. These goals justify design may at first seem burdensome. This paper does not pursue review but instead describes unique aspects of one implementation.
