LAM/MPI Bibliography and Papers:
(Full list of bibtex references)

• The LAM/MPI Checkpoint/Restart Framework: System-Initiated Checkpointing

  General description of the checkpoint/restart framework in LAM/MPI.

• Component Architecture for LAM/MPI.

  Describes the general SSI design framework for LAM/MPI 7.0, its goals and benefits.

• Integration of the LAM/MPI Environment and the PBS Scheduling System

  Describes work done in LAM/MPI 7.0 to integrate the PBS batch scheduling system and LAM/MPI.

• The Interoperable Message Passing Interface (IMPI) Extensions to LAM/MPI

  Describes how the IMPI standard was implemented in LAM/MPI, and contains some details about the innards of LAM/MPI.

• Robust Message Delivery Through Guaranteed Resources

  Describes implementation and portability issues in core MPI message delivery. It is of special interest to implementors.

• The Performance of LAM 6.0 and MPICH 1.0.12 on a Workstation Cluster

• The System Services Interface (SSI) to LAM/MPI

  An overview of the System Services Interface, the modular component system in LAM/MPI that allows easy extensibility to new environments.

• Boot System Services Interface (SSI) Modules for LAM/MPI

  Description and API for the SSI type responsible for launching the LAM run-time environment (e.g., the back-end to the lamboot command

• MPI Collective Operations System Services Interface (SSI) Modules for LAM/MPI

  Description and API for the SSI type implementating MPI collective functions (e.g., MPI_BARRIER, MPI_BCAST, etc.)

• Checkpoint/Restart System Services Interface (SSI) Modules for LAM/MPI

  Description and API for the SSI type implementating checkpoint and restart functionality of parallel MPI applications.

• Request Progression Interface (RPI) System Services Interface (SSI) Modules for LAM/MPI

  Description and API for the SSI type implementating MPI point-to-point functions (e.g., MPI_SEND, MPI_RECV, etc.).
