On the design of a new dynamic credit-based end-to-end flow controln mechanism for HPC clusters

摘要

High Performance Computing usually leverages messaging libraries such as MPI, GASNet, or OpenSHMEM, among others, in order to exchange data among processes in large-scale clusters. Furthermore, these libraries make use of specialized low-level network layers in order to achieve as much performance as possible from hardware interconnects such as InfiniBand or 40 Gb Ethernet, for example. EXTOLL is an emerging network targeted at high performance clusters. Specialized low-level network layers requ
