Communication Middleware Systems for Heterogenous Clusters: A Comparative Study.
Daniel Balkanski, Mario Trams, Wolfgang Rehm · 2003
This paper presents a comparative study of the communication middleware systems suitable for aggregating computational clusters with heterogeneous incompatible SANs into a common Cluster of Clusters (CoC). Being interested mainly in solutions providing the programmer with some single, portable and widely accepted parallel programming model like the Message Passing Interface (MPI), we have narrowed down our choice to a few alternatives: PACXMPI, MPICH-Madeleine III and MPICH-G2.
