Abstract

In this paper, we present a communication library which extends an MPI application on a single parallel machine to a cluster of parallel machines. Stampi provides some functionality which are required for constructing distributed applications and environments based on the MPI2 standard with a focus on dynamic process management. Since the mechanism of communication bridge is transparent for users, it is very useful to assemble and link MPI applications on meta-computer systems. Furthermore Stampi supports novel functions; one is the communication between a Java applet to the backend parallel computer. Another is supporting remote file-IO. Both give us a framework of distributed resource management based on an MPI communication infrastructure. This paper covers the architecture of Stampi.
