  Abstract

In this paper, on the assumption that MPI collective communication function is converted into a group of point-to-point communication functions in the transaction level, an algorithm that optimizes broadcast, scatter and gather function among MPI collective communication is proposed. The MPI hardware engine that operates the proposed algorithm was designed, and it was named the OCC-MPE (Optimized Collective Communication Message Passing Engine). The OCC-MPE operates point-to-point communication by using the standard send mode. The transmission order is arranged according to the algorithm that proposes the most frequently used broadcast, scatter and gather functions among the collective communications, so the whole communication time is reduced. To measure the performance of the proposed algorithm, the OCC-MPE with the Bus Functional Model (BFM) based on SystemC was designed. After evaluating the performance through the BFM based on SystemC, the proposed OCC-MPE is designed by using VerilogHDL. As a result of synthesizing with the TSMC 0.18μm, the gate count of each OCC-MPE is approximately 1978.95 with four processing nodes. That occupies approximately 4.15% in the whole system, which means it takes up a relatively small amount. Improved performance is expected with relatively small amounts of area increase if the OCC-MPE operated by the proposed algorithm is added to the MPSoC (Multi-Processor System on a Chip).
