摘要:
A distributed data processing system executes multiple tasks within a parallel job, including a first local task on a local node and at least one task executing on a remote node, with a remote memory having real address (RA) locations mapped to one or more of the source effective addresses (EA) and destination EA of a data move operation initiated by a task executing on the local node. On initiation of the data move operation, remote asynchronous data move (RADM) logic identifies that the operation moves data to/from a first EA that is memory mapped to an RA of the remote memory. The local processor/RADM logic initiates a RADM operation that moves a copy of the data directly from/to the first remote memory by completing the RADM operation using the network interface cards (NICs) of the source and destination processing nodes, determined by accessing a data center for the node IDs of remote memory.

摘要:
A system and method are provided for performing setup operations for receiving a different amount of data while processors are performing message passing interface (MPI) tasks. Mechanisms for adjusting the balance of processing workloads of the processors are provided so as to minimize wait periods for waiting for all of the processors to call a synchronization operation. An MPI load balancing controller maintains a history that provides a profile of the tasks with regard to their calls to synchronization operations. From this information, it can be determined which processors should have their processing loads lightened and which processors are able to handle additional processing loads without significantly negatively affecting the overall operation of the parallel execution system. As a result, setup operations may be performed while processors are performing MPI tasks to prepare for receiving different sized portions of data in a subsequent computation cycle based on the history.

摘要:
A mechanism is provided for performing collective operations. In hardware of a parent processor in a first processor book, a number of other processors are determined in a same or different processor book of the data processing system that is needed to execute the collective operation, thereby establishing a plurality of processors comprising the parent processor and the other processors. In hardware of the parent processor, the plurality of processors are logically arranged as a plurality of nodes in a hierarchical structure. The collective operation is transmitted to the plurality of processors based on the hierarchical structure. In hardware of the parent processor, results are received from the execution of the collective operation from the other processors, a final result is generated of the collective operation based on the received results, and the final result is output.

A mechanism is provided for routing information through the data processing system. Data is received at a source processor within a set of processors that is to be transmitted to a destination processor, where the data includes address information. A first determination is performed as to whether the destination processor is within a same processor book as the source processor based on the address information. A second determination is performed as to whether the destination processor is within a same supernode as the source processor based on the address information if the destination processor is not within the same processor book. A routing path is identified for the data based on results of the first determination, the second determination, and one or more routing table data structures. The data is then transmitted from the source processor along the identified routing path toward the destination processor.
