Solutions for Distributed Memory Access Mechanism on HPC Clusters

Abstract

Paper presents and evaluates various mechanisms for remote access to memory in distributed systems based on two distinct HPC clusters. We are comparing solutions based on the shared storage and MPI (over Infiniband and Slingshot) to the local memory access. This paper also mentions medical use-cases that would mostly benefit from the described solution. We have found out that results for remote access esp. backed by MPI are similar to local memory access.
