Abstract
To better manage the ever increasing complexity of LAM/MPI, we have
created a lightweight component architecture for it that is
specifically designed for high-performance message passing. This
paper describes the basic design of the component architecture, as
well as some of the particular component instances that constitute the
latest release of LAM/MPI. Performance comparisons against the
previous, monolithic, version of LAM/MPI show no performance impact
due to the new architecture---in fact, the newest version is slightly
faster. The modular and extensible nature of this implementation is
intended to make it significantly easier to add new functionality and
to conduct new research using LAM/MPI as a development platform.
