Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of MPI on a cluster of Linux-based, dual-processor PCs interconnected by a Myricom high speed network. The implementation uses MPICH for the high level protocol and FM/HPVM for the basic communications layer. It allows multiple processes and multiple users on the same PC, and passes an extensive test suite. Execution times for several application codes, ranging from simple communication kernels to large Fortran codes, show good performance. The result is a high-performance MPI interface with multi-user service for this PC cluster.
