Dynamic reconfiguration for malleable applications using RMA

Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing 2026-01-28 v2

Abstract

This paper investigates the novel one-sided communication methods based on remote memory access (RMA) operations in MPI for dynamic resizing of malleable applications, enabling data redistribution with minimal impact on application execution. After their integration into the MaM library, these methods are compared with traditional collective-based approaches. In addition, the existing strategy Wait Drains is extended to support efficient background reconfiguration. Results show comparable performance, though high initialization costs currently limit their advantage.
