Programming Environment When Mixing Beowulf And SMP?

Posted by Cliff on from the massively-parallel dept.

mulcher asks: "In a beowulf cluster I want to store (logically) one giant data structure across many nodes and have individual nodes compute in parallel. Each node has SMP so I want to exploit that as well. I have seen C/C++ and Message Passing Interface MPI, however I am also looking for Java and Haskell interfaces, or special parallel languages interfaces. Any suggestions? Also is there anyone out there who has attempted this and can recommend some URLs?"

  1. Needed: cluefull MPI implementation. by Apuleius · · Score: 2

    What you need is an MPI implementation that
    Does The Right Thing in handling communication
    between interhost MPI processes and intrahost
    MPI processes.

    Such a beast is not that far off into
    the future.
