Abstract

This paper proposes new algorithms to enhance the collective communication functions, and reports the analysis and experimental results of them. The new algorithms use factorization and pairwise-exchange dissemination methods in broadcast, allgather and allreduce. They demand at most log2P stages, and deliver better performance than the previous algorithms such as ring, recursive doubling and dissemination algorithms. Experimental results show the improvement of 50% or so over MPICH version 1.2.6 on a Linux cluster using TCP over Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. The algorithms are being extended to other communication functions such as all-to-all broadcast and reduce-scatter.
