Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product containing instructions for establishing and maintaining multiple connections over different communication fabrics between two processes. The slowest, most reliable connection may be established first and then complemented by progressively faster connections between the same pair of processes. Each of these multiple connections is maintained throughout the duration of the communication session between the processes. These multiple connections may include connections made via network interfaces and, when available, direct connections such as a shared memory connection or a point-to-point processor interconnection. This connection strategy provides one or more failback communication paths that can be used with no startup costs in the event of failure of one of the other communication paths. These failback communication paths can be used to exchange failover protocol information needed to resend messages that were undelivered due to failure of one of the communication connections.

Abstract translation: 一种方法，系统和计算机程序产品，其中包含用于在两个进程之间的不同通信结构上建立和维护多个连接的指令。 可以先建立最慢，最可靠的连接，然后通过在同一对进程之间逐步更快的连接进行补充。 这些多个连接中的每一个在进程之间的通信会话的持续时间内被维持。 这些多个连接可以包括通过网络接口进行的连接，并且当可用时，诸如共享存储器连接或点到点处理器互连之类的直接连接。 该连接策略提供一个或多个故障恢复通信路径，在其他通信路径之一的故障的情况下，可以不使用启动成本来使用。 这些故障恢复通信路径可用于交换由于其中一个通信连接故障而重新发送未传递的消息所需的故障切换协议信息。

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product containing instructions for automatically converting an MPI source code program into an MPI thread-based program. In response to inputs in the form of an MPI source code program and a command, a converter declares a global variable of the MPI source code program as a thread private variable to create a first private variable for a first thread and a second private variable for a second thread. A library is identified to support converting processes to threads during execution of the MPI thread-based program, and the identified library is used to build an executable version of the MPI thread-based program. The identified library may include code to identify instantiation of a new process when the MPI thread-based program is executing, and in response, to cause a corresponding thread for the MPI thread-based program to be instantiated.

Abstract: A method or device may optimize applications on a parallel computing system. Environment variables data may be used as well as a test kernel of an application to optimize communication protocol performance according to a set of predefined tuning rules. The tuning rules may specify the output parameters to be optimized, and may include a ranking or hierarchy of such output parameters. Optimization may be achieved through use of a tuning unit, which may execute the test kernel on the parallel computing system, and may monitor the output parameters for a series of input parameters. The input parameters may be varied over a range of values and combinations. Input parameters corresponding to optimized output parameters may be stored for future use. This information may be used to adjust the application's communication protocol performance “on the fly” by changing the input parameters for a given usage scenario.

Abstract: A processing system features random access memory (RAM) and a processor. The processor features cache memory and multiple processing cores. The processor also features cache unmapping logic that can receive an unmap request calling for creation of a memory segment to be used as a shared memory segment to reside in the cache memory of the processor. The shared memory segment may facilitate interprocess communication (IPC). After receiving the unmap request, the cache unmapping logic may cause the processing system to omit the shared memory segment when writing data from the cache memory to the RAM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
