Recent Advances In Parallel Virtual Machine And Message Passing Interface

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Meeting of the Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface Users' Group, PVM/MPI '99, held in Barcelona, Spain in September 1999. The 67 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a large number of submissions. All current issues of PVM and MPI are addressed. The papers are organized in topical sections on evaluation and performance, extensions and improvements, implementation issues, tools, algorithms, applications in science and engineering, networking, and heterogeneous distributed systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface Users' Group Meeting, PVM/MPI '97, held in Cracow, Poland in November 1997. Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface are the most popular tools for programming in accordance with the message passing paradigm which, at present, is considered to be the best way to develop effective parallel programs. The book presents 63 carefully selected papers covering the whole range of PVM/MPI issues. The papers are organized in sections on evaluation and performance, extensions and improvements, implementation, tools, algorithms, and applications in science and engineering.

Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) and Message Passing Interface (MPI) are the most frequently used tools for programming according to the message passing paradigm, which is considered one of the best ways to develop parallel applications. This volume comprises 42 revised contributions presented at the Seventh European PVM/MPI Users’ Group Meeting, which was held in Balatonfr ed, Hungary, 10 13 September 2000. The conference was organized by the Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems of the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. This conference was previously held in Barcelona, Spain (1999), Liverpool, UK (1998) and Cracow, Poland (1997). The first three conferences were devoted to PVM and were held at the Technische Universit t M nchen, Germany (1996), Ecole Normale Superieure Lyon, France (1995), and University of Rome, Italy (1994). This conference has become a forum for users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message passing environments. Interaction between those groups has proved to be very useful for developing new ideas in parallel computing and for applying existing ideas to new practical fields. The main topics of the meeting were evaluation and performance of PVM and MPI, extensions and improvements to PVM and MPI, algorithms using the message passing paradigm, and applications in science and engineering based on message passing. The conference included four tutorials and five invited talks on advances in MPI, cluster computing, network computing, grid computing, and SGI parallel computers and programming systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting, held in September 2006. The book presents 38 revised full papers together with abstracts of 6 invited contributions, 4 tutorial papers and 6 poster papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on collective communication, communication protocols, debugging and verification, fault tolerance, metacomputing and grid, parallel I/O, implementation issues, object-oriented message passing, limitations and extensions and performance.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Meeting of the Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface Users' Group, PVM/MPI '98, held in Liverpool, UK, in September 1998. The 49 contributed and invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and revised for inclusion in the volume. All current aspects of PVM and MPI are addressed. The papers are organized in topical sections on evaluation and performance, extensions and improvements, implementation issues, tools, and algorithms.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting held in Sorrento, Italy in September 2005. The 61 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 6 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on algorithms, extensions and improvements, cluster and grid, tools and environments, performance, applications and ParSim 2005.

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) are the most frequently used tools for programming message passing applications. This volume includes the selected contributions presented at the 10th - ropean PVM/MPI Users’ Group Meeting (Euro PVM/MPI 2003), which was held in Venice, Italy, September 29–October 2, 2003. The conference was jointly organized by the Department of Computer Science of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy and the Information Science and Technologies Institute of the National Research Council (ISTI-CNR), Pisa, Italy. TheconferencewaspreviouslyheldinLinz,Austria(2002),Santorini,Greece (2001), Balatonfured, ̈ Hungary (2000), Barcelona, Spain (1999), Liverpool, UK (1998), and Krakow, Poland (1997). The ?rst three conferences were devoted to PVM and were held in Munich, Germany (1996), Lyon, France (1995), and Rome, Italy (1994). The conference has become a forum for users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message passing environments. Interactions between these groups has proved to be very useful for developing new ideas in parallel computing, and for applying some of those already existent to new practical ?elds. The main topics of the meeting were evaluation and performance of PVM and MPI, ext- sions, implementations and improvements of PVM and MPI, parallel algorithms using the message passing paradigm, and parallel applications in science and engineering. In addition, the topics of the conference were extended to include Grid computing, in order to re?ect the importance of this area for the hi- performance computing community.
