Title
Do Faster Routers Imply Faster Communication?
Abstract
. Despite significant improvements in network interfaces and softwaremessaging layers, software communication overhead still dominates thehardware routing cost in most parallel systems. In this study, we identify thesources of this overhead by relating user communication services to particularnetwork hardware features. Based on a detailed analysis of the active messages layer on the CM-5, we assign the software messaging cost to specific usercommunication services and network...
