Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface: 16th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting, Espoo, Finland, September 7-10, [Paperback]

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting on Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface, EuroPVM/MPI 2009, held in Espoo, Finland, September 7-10, 2009. The 27 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The volume also includes 6 invited talks, one tutorial, 5 poster abstracts and 4 papers from the special session on current trends in numerical simulation for parallel engineering environments. The main topics of the meeting were Message Passing Interface (MPI)performance issues in very large systems, MPI program verification and MPI on multi-core architectures.Invited Talks (Abstracts).- Real-Time Message Compression in Software.- The MPI 2.2 Standard and the Emerging MPI 3 Standard.- MPI at Exascale: Challenges for Data Structures and Algorithms.- Model-Based Optimization of MPI Collective Operations for Computational Clusters.- Using MPI to Implement Scalable Libraries.- Formal Verification for Scientific Computing: Trends and Progress.- Tutorial.- Practical Formal Verification of MPI and Thread Programs.- Outstanding Papers.- The Design of Seamless MPI Computing Environment for Commodity-Based Clusters.- MPI on a Million Processors.- Scalable Detection of MPI-2 Remote Memory Access Inefficiency Patterns.- Processing MPI Datatypes Outside MPI.- Applications.- Fine-Grained Data Distribution Operations for Particle Codes.- Experiences Running a Parallel Answer Set Solver on Blue Gene.- Fault Tolerance.- Challenges and Issues of the Integration of RADIC into Open MPI.- In-Memory Checkpointing for MPI Programs by XOR-Based Double-Erasure Codes.- Library Internals.- MPC-MPI: An MPI Implementation Reducing the Overall Memory Consumption.- Towards an Efficient Process Placement Policy for MPI Applications in Multicore Environments.- Dynamic Communicators in MPI.- VolpexMPI: An MPI Library for Execution of Parallel Applications on Volatile Nodes.- MPI I/O.lS(
