	"Realization of an HPF Interface to ScaLAPACK with Redistributions"
	by Dr. Thomas Brandes <brandes@gmd.de>, German National Research
	Center for Computer Science (GMD), Schloss Birlinghoven, P.O. Box

	Research and Development in Sardinia, Via N. Sauro 10, 09123 Cagliari,
	Italy.
	ABSTRACT:
	The High Performance Fortran (HPF) programming language provides the
	data parallel programming paradigm for high performance architectures
	with different hierarchies of memory. HPF programs are much easier to
	write and to read than conventional message passing programs.
	Unfortunately, the data parallel programming paradigm is not
	sufficient for all kind of applications and message passing programs
	are more efficient in some cases. Therefore it is desirable to have an
	interface from HPF to existing parallel libraries based on the
	efficient message passing paradigm. In this paper we describe the
	realization of such an interface to ScaLAPACK, a library of high
	performance linear algebra routines based on message passing. The
	interface is realized in such a way that it applies redistribution
	routines from the HPF runtime system to its arguments if ScaLAPACK
	does not support a certain HPF distribution or if it can increase the
	performance. In fact, the high level specification and the powerful
	functionality of HPF will simplify the use of a parallel library
	dramatically and make its use much more convenient.

/parallel/standards/mpi/anl/workingnote/adi2impl.ps.Z
	"MPICH Working Note: The implementation of the second generation
	MPICH ADI"
	by William Gropp and Ewing Lusk.
	ABSTRACT:
	The MPICH implementation of the MPI standard is built on a lower
	level communications layer called the abstract device interface. The
	purpose of this interface is to make it easy to port the MPICH
	implementation by separating into a separate module that handles just
	the communication between two processes. This note describes an
	implementation for this interface that is flexible and efficient. In
	addition, this implementation supports multiple devices (e.g., TCP/IP
	and shared memory or TCP/IP and propritary interconnect) in a single
	MPI application.

/parallel/architecture/communications/io/pario/papers/Kotz/kotz:flexibility.ps.Z
	"Flexibility and Performance of Parallel File Systems"
	by David Kotz <dfk@cs.dartmouth.edu> and Nils Nieuwejaar.
	ACM Operating Systems Review 30(2), April 1996 (to appear).
	ABSTRACT:
	Many scientific applications for high-performance multiprocessors
	have tremendous I/O requirements. As a result, the I/O system is often
	the limiting factor of application performance. Several new parallel
	file systems have been developed in recent years, each promising
	better performance for some class of parallel applications. As we gain
	experience with parallel computing, and parallel file systems in
	particular, it becomes increasingly clear that a single solution does
	not suit all applications. For example, it appears to be impossible to
	find a single appropriate interface, caching policy, file structure,
	or disk management strategy. Furthermore, the proliferation of
	file-system interfaces and abstractions make application portability a
	significant problem.
	
	We propose that the traditional functionality of parallel file
	systems be separated into two components: a fixed core that is
	standard on all platforms, encapsulating only primitive abstractions
	and interfaces, and a set of high-level libraries to provide a variety
	of abstractions and application-programmer interfaces (APIs). We think
	of this approach as the ``RISC'' of parallel file-system design.
	
	We present our current and next-generation file systems as examples
	of this structure. Their features, such as a three-dimensional file
	structure, strided read and write interfaces, and I/O-node programs,
	are specifically designed with the flexibility and performance
	necessary to support a wide range of applications.

	"OMIS - On-line Monitoring Interface Specification"
	by Thomas Ludwig <fludwig@informatik.tu-muenchen.de>, Lehrstuhl fur
	Rechnertechnik und Rechnerorganisation, Institut fur Informatik
	(LRR-TUM), Technische Universitat Munchen, D-80290 Munchen, Germany;

	University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA; Tel: +1-404-727-5926; FAX:
	+1-404-727-5611 and Arndt Bode <bodeg@informatik.tu-muenchen.de>.
	See <URL:http://wwwbode.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/omis/>
	ABSTRACT:
	The On-line Monitoring Interface Specification (OMIS) aims at
	defining an open interface for connecting on-line software development
	tools to parallel programs running in a distributed environment.
	Interactive tools like debuggers and performance analyzers and
	automatic tools like load balancers are typical representatives of the
	considered class of tools. The current situation is characterized by
	the fact that tools either follow the off-line paradigm by only having
	access to trace data and not to the running program or else they are
	on-line oriented but suffer from the following deficiencies: they do
	not support interoperability in the sense that different tools can be
	used simultaneously - not even tools from the same developer.
	Furthermore, no unified environment exists where the same tools can be
	used for parallel programs running on different target architectures.
	A reason for this situation can be found in a lack of systematic
	development of monitoring systems, i.e. systems which provide a tool
	with necessary runtime information about the application programs and
	make it possible to even manipulate the program run. The goal of the
	OMIS project is to specify an interface which is appropriate for a
	large set of different tools. Having an agreed on on-line monitoring
	interface facilitates the development of tools in the way that tool
	implementation and monitoring system implementation are now decoupled.
	Bringing n tools to m systems (consisting of hardware, operating
	system, programming libraries etc.) will be reduced in complexity from
	n m to n + m. In addition, it will eventually be possible to
	simultaneously use tools of different developers and to compose
	unified tool environments. The research group at LRR-TUM will
	implement an OMIS compliant monitoring system for the PVM programming
	model running on a network of workstations. Several interactive and
	automatic tools will be connected to this concrete system. The present
	document defines the goals of the OMIS project and list necessary
	requirements for such a monitoring system. We will describe the system
	model OMIS is primarily intended for and give an outline of available
	services of the interface. A special section will give details on how
	to extend OMIS, as this is an indispensable feature for future tool
	development. We would appreciate to get feedback on the design of
	OMIS. If you would like to see special issues incorporated into this
	specification document you are invited to contact the authors.

	"MPICH Working Note: The Second-Generation ADI for the MPICH
	Implementation of MPI"
	by William Gropp and Ewing Lusk.
	ABSTRACT:
	In this paper we describe an abstract device interface (ADI) that may
	be used to efficiently implement the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
	After experience with a first-generation ADI that made certain
	assumptions about the devices and tradeoffs in the design, it has
	become clear that, particularly on systems with low-latency
	communication, the first-generation ADI design imposes too much
	additional latency. In addition, the first-generation design is
	awkward for heterogeneous systems, complex for noncontiguous
	messaging, and inadequate at error handling. The design in this note
	describes a new ADI that provides lower latency in common cases and is
	still easy to implement, while retaining many opportunities for
	customization to any advanced capabilities that the underlying
	hardware may support.
