Abstract:
A method, system, method and computer program product for facilitating collective communication in parallel computing. A system for parallel computing includes one or more communicators. Each of the one or more communicators comprises a plurality of processes. A memory pool including one or more early arrival buffers is provided. One or more tokens are assigned to a specified communicator included in the communicators. Each of the processes comprised by the specified communicator may consume any token assigned to the specified communicator. Requesting an early arrival buffer included in the memory pool requires consuming at least one token. A collective communication operation is performed using the specified communicator. The collective communication operation is performed eagerly using early arrival buffers obtained by consuming the tokens assigned to the communicator.
