An asynchronous communication library for accessing and managing dynamic hash tables over a network of Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) is presented. A blocking factor is shown experimentally to reduce the variance of the wall clock time. It is also shown that remote accesses to a distributed hash table can be as effective and scalable as the one-sided operations of the low-level communication middleware on an IBM SP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
