Abstract:In this paper, we first study the interaction between MPI applications and TCP on grids. Then, we propose MPI5000, a transparent applicative layer between MPI and TCP, using proxies to improve the execution of MPI applications on grids. Proxies aim at splitting TCP connections in order to detect losses faster and avoid to return in a slowstart phase after an idle time. Finally, we evaluate our layer executing the NAS Parallel Benchmarks on Grid'5000, the French research grid. The results show that our architec… Show more
