Networked systems provide a cost-effective platform for parallel computing, but the applications have to deal with the changing availability of computation and communication resources. Network-awareness is a recent attempt to bridge the gap between the realities of networks and the demands of applications. Network-aware applications obtain information about their execution environment and dynamically adapt to enhance their performance. Adaptation is especially important for synchronous parallel applications since a single busy communication link can become the bottleneck and degrade overall performance dramatically. This paper presents Remos, a uniform API that allows applications to obtain relevant network information, and reports on the development of parallel applications in this environment. The challenges in defining a uniform interface include network heterogeneity, diversity and variability in network traffic, and resource sharing in the network and even inside an application. The first implementation of the Remos system is hosted on an IP-based network testbed. The paper reports on our methodology for developing adaptive parallel applications for high-speed networks with Remos, and presents results that highlight the importance and effectiveness of adaptive parallel computing.
