Performance of parallel communication and spawning primitives on a Linux cluster
2006
Cluster Computing
The Linux cluster considered in this paper, formed from shuttle box XPC nodes with 2 GHz Athlon processors connected by dual Gb Ethernet switches, is relatively easily constructed, but, while effective as a throughput engine, may result in disappointing results when running explicitly parallel software if weakly-performing communication mechanisms and process spawning are selected. This paper carefully compares the implementations of communication and spawning primitives in MPICH-2, openMosix,
