SURVEY: ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS MESSAGE PASSING INTERFACE IMPLEMENTATIONS

Abstract

Now a days the more number of the applications are developed on the parallel platform. The parallel
applications are may or may not on the same nodes, that requires the way of the communication and hence in high
performance computing the Message Passing Interface comes into the picture. The implementation of the message
passing interface is done for the various requirements that may be the vendor specific or the open source operated for
any type of the available network. So the MPI libraries provide the functionality that is the vendor’s system specific or
general services. If the services are generally then what about the performance of the MPI libraries on the different
platforms, so that there is a need to analyze these all the questions are needed to be studied very briefly so that the
efficient and well structured lightweight MPI libraries can develop for the faster communication having the lowest
latency. Second part is that to understand the how MPI is going to use the services provided by the OFED (Open Fabrics
Enterprise Distribution). Also to understand the type of the verbs and OFED services utilized by the MPI.
In this paper, we focused on comparative analysis of various MPI library implementations.
