Sorry for my late reply. And thank you all for your answers and comments. Oleg, Same question as Aurélien. You mentionned that you have implemented some piggyback mechanisms in Open MPI. Are these mechanisms available ? Would it be possible to use it ? Regards. Thomas Ropars Aurélien Bouteil

Oleg, Is there an implementation in Open MPI of your techniques ? Can we put our greedy nasty pawns on it ? Thanks for the link, Josh. Aurelien Le 5 févr. 08 à 08:39, Josh Hursey a écrit : Oleg, Interesting work. You mentioned late in your email that you believe that adding support for p

Oleg, Interesting work. You mentioned late in your email that you believe that adding support for piggybacking to the MPI standard would be the best solution. As you may know, the MPI Forum has reconvened and there is a working group for Fault Tolerance. This working group is discussing a

Hi, I've been working on MPI piggyback technique as a part of my PhD work. Although MPI does not provide a native support, there are several different solutions to transmit piggyback data over every MPI communication. You may find a brief overview in papers [1, 2]. This includes copying the origi

I don't know of any work in that direction for now. Indeed, we plan to eventually integrate at least causal message logging in the pml-v, which also includes piggybacking. Therefore we are open for collaboration with you on this matter. Please let us know :) Aurelien Le 1 févr. 08 à 09:5

Hi, I'm currently working on optimistic message logging and I would like to implement an optimistic message logging protocol in OpenMPI. Optimistic message logging protocols piggyback information about dependencies between processes on the application messages to be able to find a consistent

2007-10-30 Thread Oleg Morajko
Hi, I'm developing a causality chain tracking library and need a mechanism to attach an extra data to every MPI message, so called piggyback mechanism. As far as I know there are a few solutions to this problem from which the two fundamental ones are the following: - Dynamic datatype wrapping
