Abstract
This paper evaluates remote memory access (RMA) communication capabilities and performance on the Cray XT3. We discuss properties of the network hardware and portals networking software layer and corresponding implementation issues for SHMEM and ARMCI portable RMA interfaces. The performance of these interfaces is studied and compared to MPI performance.
