We have submitted a paper entitled "Broadcast Communication Delay
Metric for the iPSC/2 and iPSC/860 Hypercubes" to the Third IEEE
Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing. It may be of
interest to those seeking performance information for the iPSC
systems.
ABSTRACT:
When determining the granularity of a program to be executed in
parallel, it is important to have valid information on the cost
of communication for the system on which the program is to be run.
Previous studies have measured the node-to-node communication
performance on the Intel Hypercube systems. This work measures
the performance of multicast communication on the Intel iPSC/2
and iPSC/860 hypercubes and derives equations modelling the cost
of broadcast communication.
