Lesson Learned
• New MPI implementation is needed
– It is tough to change/modify existing MPI implementations
– New MPI implementation
• Open implementation in addition to open source
• Customizable to implement a new protocol
• New transport implementation is needed
– The PM library is not on top of IP protocol
• Not acceptable in the Grid environment
– The current TCP/IP implementation (BSD and Linux) does not
perform well in a large latency environment
– Mismatch between socket API and MPI communication model
– TCP/IP protocol is not an issue, but its implementation is the
issue

Is It Feasible ?
• Is it feasible to run non-EP (Embarrassingly
Parallel) applications on Grid-connected clusters?
– NO for long-distance networks
– YES for metropolitan- or campus-area networks
• Example: Greater Tokyo area
– Diameter: 100km-300km (or 60miles-200miles)
– Latency: 1-2ms one-way
– Bandwidth: 1-10G bps, or more
