Data Exchange: high performance communications in distributed laboratories

摘要

Current communications tools and libraries for high performance computing are designed for platforms and applications that exhibit relatively stable computational and communica- tion characteristics. In contrast, the demands of(1)mixed environments in which high per- formance applications interact with multiple end users, visualizations, storage engines, and I/O engines-termed 'distributed laboratories' in our research-and(2)high performance col- laborative computing applications in general, exhibit additional complexities in terms of dy- namic behaviors.
