Abstract
A typical problem for a parallel processing system involves broadcasting large amounts of data from a master to several worker programs. This paper describes a reliable-multicast method to reduce the communication costs of this distribution. Our solution relies on a tuple-space mechanism as implemented in the Synergy system. We present results showing that even a simple implementation of reliable multicast can dramatically improve performance
