Contents:
Efficient communication mechanisms for cluster based parallel computing -- Stream sockets on SHRIMP -- A simple and efficient process and communication abstraction for network operating systems -- Efficient adaptive routing in networks of workstations with irregular topology -- A deadlock avoidance method for computer networks -- Extending ATM networks for efficient reliable multicast -- ATLAS I: A single-chip ATM switch for NOWs -- Arachne: A portable threads library supporting migrant threads on heterogeneous network farms -- Transparent treatment of remote pointers using IPC primitive in RPC systems -- An Operating System support to low-overhead communications in NOW clusters -- Distributed hardware support for process synchronization in NSM workstation clusters -- Synchronization support in I/O adapter based SCI clusters -- Load balancing for regular data-parallel applications on workstation network -- A comparison of three high speed networks for parallel cluster computing -- Understanding the performance of DSM applications -- Performance metrics and measurement techniques of collective communication services -- CLAM: Connection-less, Lightweight, and Multiway communication support for distributed computing -- Network-wide cooperative computing architecture (NCCA) -- Data movement and control substrate for parallel scientific computing.
Summary: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Communication and Architectural Support for Network-Based Parallel Computing, CANPC'97, held in San Antonio, Texas, USA, in February 1997. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 36 submissions. Among the topics addressed are processor/network interfaces, communication protocols, high-performance network technology, operating systems and architectural issues, and load balancing techniques. All in all, the papers competently describe the state-of-the-art for network-based computing systems.
