Abstract:Shared memory MPI communication is an important part of the overall performance of parallel applications. However understanding the behavior of these data transfers is difficult because of the combined complexity of modern memory architectures with multiple levels of caches and complex cache coherence protocols, of MPI implementations, and of application needs.We analyze shared memory MPI communication from a cache coherence perspective through a new memory model. It captures the memory architecture characteri… Show more
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.
