Abstract

Most of the recent message passing libraries are built to provide users the best raw performance. Unfortunately, security is often sacrified. PAPI (for PCI-DDC Application Programming Interface) was designed with the goal of providing administrators of clusters implementing the remote-write protocol a single programming interface with different possible levels of security. In this article, we discuss the results obtained on our plateform for both user and kernel level messaging.
