Abstract

This research is to design a collection of effective collective operations for the Grid scale network environment. In the Grid, several network features should be specified and adapted into the algorithmic design of collective operations. For this, we characterize the Grid and design hierarchical latency optimal tree algorithm for the MPI (message passing interface) library. The experimental results show that performance gain in performing collective operations can be achieved by around 160% compared with MPICH-G2 which is based on the flat algorithm.
