STARTUP OF MESSAGE-PASSING-INTERFACE (MPI) BASED APPLICATIONS IN A HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for launching MPI-based processes and applications on multiple platform types. A method may include determining a type of an OS associated with a processing node platform on which the MPI-based process is to be launched. The method may also include launching a proxy module on the processing node platform, the proxy module configured to launch the MPI-based process. The launching of the proxy module may include operations that are based on the determination of the OS type of the processing node platform. These operations may include the execution of a secure shell for remote process launching and/or requesting a remote process launching from a system service module executing on the processing node platform.

主权项

1. A processing node for launching MPI-based processes, comprising:
an operating system (OS), said OS to receive a request for Message-Passing-Interface (MPI)-based processing, said request received from a process manager module on a launching node; a proxy module to launch an MPI-based process in response to receiving said request; and said MPI-based process comprising an application module to communicate with other MPI-based processes in accordance with an MPI standard, said communication associated with performance of a task.
