TY - JOUR A1 - Ciaccio, Giuseppe A1 - Ehlert, Marco A1 - Schnor, Bettina T1 - Exploiting gigabit ethernet capacity for cluster applications N2 - In this paper we report about the recently completed porting of GAMMA to the Netgear GA621 Gigabit Ethernet adapter, and provide a comparison among GAMMA, MPI/GAMMA, TCP/IP, and MPICH/TCP, based on the Netgear GA621 and the older Netgear GA620 network adapters and using different device drivers, in a Gigabit Ethernet cluster of PCs running Linux 2.4. 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.

The data model is based on the experiences and experiments conducted in heterogeneous Grid environments. 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. GODsL provides the content for the XML based communication in Grid migration scenarios, carried out in the GridLab project. We describe the data model architecture on a general level and focus on the Grid application scenarios.

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. Gridmake, a tool to automate and speed up this procedure is presented in this paper.

Maintaining data privacy in pervasive environments requires the management and implementation of privacy protection measures close to the data source. We propose a set of atomic privacy parameters that is generic enough to form specific privacy classes and might be applied directly at the embedded sensor device.

Network interfaces (called host channel adapters) provide transport layer services over connections and datagrams in reliable or unreliable manner. Additionally, InfiniBand supports remote direct memory access (RDMA) primitives that allow for one- sided communication. Using server load balancing together with a high performance cluster makes it possible to build a fast, scalable, and reliable service infrastructure. We have designed and implemented a scalable load balancer for InfiniBand clusters called SLIBNet. Our investigations show that the InfiniBand architecture offers features which perfectly support load balancing. We want to thank the Megware Computer GmbH for providing us an InfiniBand switch to realize a server load balancing testbed.

Web traffic is currently one of the most important applications in the Internet. The increasing popularity of dynamically generated content on the World Wide Web, has created the need for fast web servers. Server clustering together with server load balancing has emerged as a promising technique to build scalable web servers. The paper gives a short overview over the new features of IPv6 and different server load balancing technologies. Further, we present and evaluate Loaded, an user-space server load balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 based on Linux.

Mit steigender Anzahl von VoIP-Anschlüssen werden auch hier die teilnehmenden Benutzer mit SPAM-Anrufen (SPIT) konfrontiert werden. Neben derzeit diskutierten juristischen Maßnahmen müssen auch technische Abwehrmaßnahmen geschaffen werden, welche SPAM erkennen und vermeiden können. Dieser Beitrag stellt zwei Erweiterungen für das VoIP-Protokoll SIP vor, welche es erstens den Providern ermöglichen, SPIT-Einschätzungen über den Anrufer zum angerufenen Benutzer zu übermitteln und zweitens den Angerufenen die Möglichkeit geben, mit einer Kostenanforderung auf potentielle SPIT-Anrufe zu reagieren. Y1 - 2007 SN - 978-3-540-69961-3 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Schneidenbach, Lars A1 - Schnor, Bettina T1 - Design Issues in the Implementation of MPI2 One Sided Communication in Ethernet based Networks N2 - In current research, one sided communication of the MPI2 standard is pushed as a promising technique [6, 7, 10, 18]. But measurements of applications and MPI2 primitives show a different picture [17]. In this paper we analyze de sign issues of MPI2 one sided communication and its im plementations. We focus on asynchronous communication for parallel applications in Ethernet cluster environments. Further, one sided communication is compared to two sided communication. This paper will prove that the key problem to performance is not only the implementation of MPI2 one sided communication - it is the design.

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. Y1 - 2007 UR - http://edoc.mpg.de/316626 ER -
