Abstract

"Adaptive MPI", or AMPI, implements virtual MPI processors, several of which may reside on a single physical processor. This virtualization allows MPI applications to use an automatic migration-based load balancer, automatically overlap computation and communication, and provide several other benefits. In this paper, we present the design of and recent work on AMPI, its low-level and application performance, and some of the advanced capabilities enabled by virtualization.
