doi abstract bibtex

© 2016 IEEE. We introduce the Photon RDMA middleware librarythat enables consistent remote memory access semantics overa number of network interconnect technologies. A primarygoal of Photon is to expose a lightweight and flexible network abstraction that minimizes communication and message handlingoverheads for high-performance applications and runtime systems, in particular those that require the manipulation of objectswithin a global address space. Both one-sided and rendezvouscommunication models are supported and asynchronous networkprogress is exposed at a fine granularity. Photon implements anovel communication pattern called put-with-completion (PWC) that optimizes a completion notification path with variable sizedata for realizing active message-driven computation. The resultsof our performance evaluation show that our PWC model iscomparable, and often improves upon, existing one-sided RDMAlibraries in message latency and throughput metrics.
