摘要： In a global shared memory (GSM) environment, a method provides local notification of completion of a global shared memory (GSM) operation processed by a first task executing at a local node of the distributed system. The system includes multiple nodes on which different tasks of a single job execute and perform GSM operations that are received from a second task via a via host fabric interface (HFI) and associated HFR window assigned to the first tasks. The local task initiates execution of a GSM operation on the local node. The task then monitors for and detects a completion of the execution of the GSM operation on the local node. When the task detects completion of the execution of the GSM operation, the task issues an internal notification to inform the locally-executing tasks of the completion of the GSM operation.

摘要： A method for providing global notification of completion of a global shared memory (GSM) operation during processing by a target task executing at a target node of a distributed system. The distributed system has at least one other node on which an initiating task that generated the GSM operation is homed. The target task receives the GSM operation from the initiating task, via a host fabric interface (HFI) window assigned to the target task. The task initiates execution of the GSM operation on the target node. The task detects completion of the execution of the GSM operation on the target node, and issues a global notification to at least the initiating task. The global notification indicates the completion of the execution of the GSM operation to one or more tasks of a single job distributed across multiple processing nodes.

摘要： A target task ensures complete delivery of a global shared memory (GSM) message from an originating task to the target task. The target task's HFI receives a first of multiple GSM packets generated from a single GSM message sent from the originating task. The HFI logic assigns a sequence number and corresponding tuple to track receipt of the complete GSM message. The sequence number is unique relative to other sequence numbers assigned to GSM messages that have not been completely received from the initiating task. The HFI updates a count value within the tuple, which comprises the sequence number and the count value for the first GSM packet and for each subsequent GSM packet received for the GSM message. The HFI determines when receipt of the GSM message is complete by comparing the count value with a count total retrieved from the packet header.

摘要： A host fabric interface (HFI) enables debugging of global shared memory (GSM) operations received at a local node from a network fabric. The local node has a memory management unit (MMU), which provides an effective address to real address (EA-to-RA) translation table that is utilized by the HFI to evaluate when EAs of GSM operations/data from a received GSM packet is memory-mapped to RAs of the local memory. The HFI retrieves the EA associated with a GSM operation/data within a received GSM packet. The HFI forwards the EA to the MMU, which determines when the EA is mapped to RAs within the local memory for the local task. The HFI processing logic enables processing of the GSM packet only when the EA of the GSM operation/data within the GSM packet is an EA that has a local RA translation. Non-matching EAs result in an error condition that requires debugging.

摘要： A data processing system enables global shared memory (GSM) operations across multiple nodes with a distributed EA-to-RA mapping of physical memory. Each node has a host fabric interface (HFI), which includes HFI windows that are assigned to at most one locally-executing task of a parallel job. The tasks perform parallel job execution, but map only a portion of the effective addresses (EAs) of the global address space to the local, real memory of the task's respective node. The HFI window tags all outgoing GSM operations (of the local task) with the job ID, and embeds the target node and HFI window IDs of the node at which the EA is memory mapped. The HFI window also enables processing of received GSM operations with valid EAs that are homed to the local real memory of the receiving node, while preventing processing of other received operations without a valid EA-to-RA local mapping.

摘要： A method and data processing system for tracking global shared memory (GSM) operations to and from a local node configured with a host fabric interface (HFI) coupled to a network fabric. During task/job initialization, the system OS assigns HFI window(s) to handle the GSM packet generation and GSM packet receipt and processing for each local task. HFI processing logic automatically tags each GSM packet generated by the HFI window with a global job identifier (ID) of the job to which the local task is affiliated. The job ID is embedded within each GSM packet placed on the network fabric. On receipt of a GSM packet from the network fabric, the HFI logic retrieves the embedded job ID and compares the embedded job ID with the ID within the HFI window(s). GSM packets are forwarded to an HFI window only when the embedded job ID matches the HFI window's job ID.

摘要： A method for issuing global shared memory (GSM) operations from an originating task on a first node coupled to a network fabric of a distributed network via a host fabric interface (HFI). The originating task generates a GSM command within an effective address (EA) space. The task then places the GSM command within a send FIFO. The send FIFO is a portion of real memory having real addresses (RA) that are memory mapped to EAs of a globally executing job. The originating task maintains a local EA-to-RA mapping of only a portion of the real address space of the globally executing job. The task enables the HFI to retrieve the GSM command from the send FIFO into an HFI window allocated to the originating task. The HFI window generates a corresponding GSM packet containing GSM operations and/or data, and the HFI window issues the GSM packet to the network fabric.

摘要： A method and a data processing system for completing checkpoint processing of a distributed job with local tasks communicating with other remote tasks via a host fabric interface (HFI) and assigned HFI window. Each HFI window has a send count and a receive count, which tracks GSM messages that are sent from and received at the HFI window. When a checkpoint is initiated by a master task, each local task forwards the send count and the receive count to the master task. The master task sums the respective counts and then compares the totals to each other. When the send count total is equal to the receive count total, the tasks are permitted to continue processing. However, when the send count total is not equal to the receive count total, the master task notifies each task of the job to rollback to a previous checkpoint or kill the job execution.
