TEG: A High-Performance, Scalable, Multi-network Point-to-Point Communications Methodology

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3241))

Abstract

TEG is a new component-based methodology for point-to-point messaging. Developed as part of the Open MPI project, TEG provides a configurable fault-tolerant capability for high-performance messaging that utilizes multi-network interfaces where available. Initial performance comparisons with other MPI implementations show comparable ping-pong latencies, but with bandwidths up to 30% higher.
