SDN controller for acceleration of MPI reduction operation
This study aims to high-speed MPI_Allreduce leveraging SDN. MPI (Message Passing Interface), a de facto standard library for distributed and parallel computing, provides a suite of APIs for inter-process communication.
This study is being coducted mainly by the graduate students of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University, Japan.
