Projects


LAMPI — The Los Alamos Message Passing Interface (LA-MPI) project provides an end-to-end network fault-tolerant message passing system for tera-scale clusters.

Our objective is to deliver to the application developer a production quality open-source software implementation of a message passing library with leading edge technology underpinnings.

The current API supported being MPI 1.2 (C and Fortran bindings).


Research and Development Areas

  • Fault tolerance
  • Handling transient network failures like data corruption without aborting the application Handling catastrophic failures like the failure of a network component without aborting the application
  • Obtaining high aggregate performance over the network
  • Scalability to tens of thousands of processors, including application startup and data delivery
  • Dynamic process management
  • Adaptation to new network hardware and software
  • Predictable and efficient data delivery progress
