Scalable unix commands for parallel processors: A high-performance implementation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

We describe a family of MPI applications we call the Parallel Unix Commands. These commands are natural parallel versions of common Unix user commands such as ls, ps, and find, together with a few similar commands particular to the parallel environment.We describe the design and implementation of these programs and present some performance results on a 256-node Linux cluster. The Parallel Unix Commands are open source and freely available.
