Information about the package, ga-mpich, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The ga-mpich package is designed for, Global Arrays Toolkit for MPICH.
Package Name:
ga-mpich
Summary:
Global Arrays Toolkit for MPICH
Description:
The Global Arrays (GA) toolkit provides an efficient and portable "shared-memory" programming interface for distributed-memory computers. Each process in a MIMD parallel program can asynchronously access logical blocks of physically distributed dense multi- dimensional arrays, without need for explicit cooperation by other processes. Unlike other shared-memory environments, the GA model exposes to the programmer the non-uniform memory access (NUMA) characteristics of the high performance computers and acknowledges that access to a remote portion of the shared data is slower than to the local portion. The locality information for the shared data is available, and a direct access to the local portions of shared data is provided. - Libraries against MPICH.
