GAMMA (the Genoa Active Message MAchine) is a lightweight messaging system based on an Active Message-like paradigm, originally designed for efficient exploitation of Fast Ethernet interconnects. The comparison includes simple latency/hspace{0pt}bandwidth evaluation of the messaging systems on both adapters, as well as performance comparisons based on the NAS NPB and an end-user fluid dynamics application called Modular Ocean Model (MOM). The analysis of results provides useful hints concerning the efficient use of Gigabit Ethernet with clusters of PCs. In particular, it emerges that GAMMA on the GA621 adapter, with a combination of low end-to-end latency (8.5 \$mu\$s) and high throughput (118.4 MByte/s), provides a performing, cost-effective alternative to proprietary high-speed networks, e.g.~Myrinet, for a wide range of cluster computing applications.}, language = {en} } @article{LanfermannSchnorSeidel2003, author = {Lanfermann, Gerd and Schnor, Bettina and Seidel, Edward}, title = {Characterizing Grids}, isbn = {1-4020-7418-2}, year = {2003}, abstract = {We present a new data model approach to describe the various objects that either represent the Grid infrastructure or make use of it.

While very sophisticated data models exist to describe and characterize e.g. compute capacities or web services, we will show that a general description, which combines {em all} of these aspects, is needed to give an adequate representation of objects on a Grid. The Grid Object Description Language (GODsL)} is a generic and extensible approach to unify the various aspects that an object on a Grid can have.

Distributed runs across several clusters or supercomputers for example, require matching binaries at each site. Thus, at some stage, each Grid enabled application needs to be recompiled for every platform. Up to now, creating matching binaries on different platforms was a manual, sequential, slow, and very error-prone process. Developers had to log into each machine, transfer source code, check consistency and recompile if necessary. This cumbersome procedure is surely one reason for the (still existing) lack of production Grid computing.

Additionally, InfiniBand supports remote direct memory access (RDMA) primitives that allow for one- sided communication.

Migol is a Grid middleware, which addresses the fault-tolerance of long-running and compute-intensive applications. The framework supports e. g. the automatic and transparent recovery respectively the migration of applications. Another core feature of Migol is the discovery, selection, and allocation of resources using advance reservation. Grid broker systems can significantly benefit from advance reservation. With advance reservation brokers and users can obtain execution guarantees from local resource management systems (LRM) without requiring detailed knowledge of current and future workloads or of the resource owner's policies. Migol's Advance Reservation Service (ARS) provides an adapter layer for reservation capabilities of different LRMs, which is currently not provided by existing Grid middleware platforms. Further, we propose a shortest expected delay (SED) strategy for scheduling of advance reservations within the Job Broker Service. SED needs information about the earliest start time of an application. This is currently not supported by LRMs. We added this feature for PBSPro. Migol depends on Globus and its security infrastructure. Our performance experiments show the substantial overhead of this serviceoriented approach.}, language = {en} }
