MPI Advance : Open-Source Message Passing Optimizations
share
The large variety of production implementations of the message passing interface (MPI) each provide unique and varying underlying algorithms. Each emerging supercomputer supports one or a small number of system MPI installations, tuned for the given architecture. Performance varies with MPI version, but application programmers are typically unable to achieve optimal performance with local MPI installations and therefore rely on whichever implementation is provided as a system install. This paper presents MPI Advance, a collection of libraries that sit on top of MPI, optimizing the underlying performance of any existing MPI library. The libraries provide optimizations for collectives, neighborhood collectives, partitioned communication, and GPU-aware communication.
